Question 1: How can a bridge know whether to forward frames?
Answer:
The bridges configure themselves automatically to decide which bridge will forward broadcast frames and which bridge will not.
The bridges communicate with each other on the network and use Distributed Spanning Tree (DST) algorithm to decide which bridge will not forward frames if a cycle occurs. (Page 53)
