Generally, a bridge has only two ports and divides a
collision domain into two parts. All decisions made by a
bridge are based on MAC or Layer 2 addressing and do not
affect the logical or Layer 3 addressing. Thus, a bridge
will divide a collision domain but has no effect on a
logical or broadcast domain. No matter how many bridges are
in a network, unless there is a device such as a router
that works on Layer 3 addressing, the entire network will
share the same logical broadcast address space. A bridge
will create more collision domains but will not add
broadcast domains

A switch is essentially a fast, multi-port bridge, which
can contain dozens of ports. Rather than creating two
collision domains, each port creates its own collision
domain. In a network of twenty nodes, twenty collision
domains exist if each node is plugged into its own switch
port. If an uplink port is included, one switch creates
twenty-one single-node collision domains. A switch
dynamically builds and maintains a Content-Addressable
Memory (CAM) table, holding all of the necessary MAC
information for each port

Bridge is connected into a network it segemted into two.in
this the signle collsion domain comw to two.

Answer / nandini

Bridge is faster than Switch.
But Switch has more number of ports than Bridge.
Two networks can be segmented by Bridge.

Answer / lilprincesskrishna

Switch

1. They are hardware based. They use ASIC(Application Specific Integrated Circits) to create and manage their filter table or MAC address table
2. Switches have high port density
3. They have large frame buffer size
4. they can have different media access rates
5. they can have separate spanning tree for each VLANs in the switch

Bridge

1. They are software based. They use software to manage and crate filter tables
2. Low port density. Maximum 16
3. They can have only one spanning tree instance per bridge.

Answer / krunal

Switch can connect more than two networks/LANS/hosts
because switch has more than two ports,while bridge can
connect only two networks/LANS/hosts means it has only two
ports.

Answer / vikash ramola

In the switch network we can communicate with each computer
of same or two different network, whereas in bridge network
we cannot communicate with the computer of same network but
can communicate with the computer of different network.

two or more network

Answer / kapilasdhir

Generally Switch and bridge are having the same
functionality in the network but there is one major
difference between switch and bridge.
Bridge maximum 16 ports are available
Switch - Maximum 100 ports are available
