Which of the following network devices operates as a bridge function?

A.
Hub
B.
Wireless access point
C.
Transceiver
D.
Media converter

Re: 220-1101 topic 1 question 245

Media converter is nowhere in the A+ objectives or the CompTIA book (media converter is listed on the Net+ objectives). In the book, it says "An access point can establish a wireless-only network, but it can also work as a bridge to forward communications between the wireless stations and a wired network."

Wireless Access Point is also called a bridge as it's simply bridging or extending the wired connection into a wireless connection.

Point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridges are a convenient way of connecting two networks quickly and easily using a wireless connection. They provide a secure, reliable link to share data, audio, video, or other internet traffic between two locations without needing any cables

A+ book from Cybex lists a Media Converter for use with security cameras.

Its A. A media converter "converts" between different media like from vopper to Fibre optic but its the same network. Therefore not bridging

Sorry mean tp say B! Doh

Re: 220-1101 topic 1 question 245

D. Media converter operates as a bridge function. A media converter is a network device that can bridge or convert signals between different types of network media, such as converting from fiber optic to copper Ethernet or vice versa. It plays a bridging role in connecting two different network segments that use different media types to communicate with each other.

Re: 220-1101 topic 1 question 245

A media converter is a device used to convert and bridge different types of network media, such as converting between fiber-optic and copper Ethernet cables. It enables devices with different network interfaces to communicate with each other. Media converters are often used to extend the reach and compatibility of network connections.
