4. What is a disadvantage to using bridges in your network?
A. Filters by MAC address
B. Stops broadcast storms
C. Doesn't stop broadcast storms
D. Can only use up to 4 bridges in any LAN

Answer Posted / kapilasdhir

Answer: C
Even though the 5-4-3 rule specifies you can only have 4
bridges in a network, that is not really adisadvantage. The
disadvantage to bridging is that it filters by MAC address
and cannot create separate
networks like a router can. This means that if a broadcast
storm was to take place a bridge will forward the
frames.
