A bridge is an layer 2 device - it works based on mac address. bridge is s/w based.

It is usually used to bridge 2 networks (or even more in recent times)

Bridge is configured by having the the mac address of the switches connected directly to it.

Hi, Bridge is just like an connecting device in the inter network systems. It is work on the mac layer and software based. It is used at the time of interupting the device from one topology to another topology. Software components are making the connection between the device and routing the device.
