| - | A **Bridge** connect two or more hosts or network segments together. The basic role of bridges in network architecture is storing and forwarding frames between the different segments that the bridge connects. They use hardware Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for transferring frames. By looking at the MAC address of the devices connected to each segment, bridges can forward the data or block it from crossing. Bridges can also be used to connect two physical [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:l:lan|LANs]] into a larger logical LAN. | + | A **Bridge** connect two or more hosts or network segments together.
