Figure 1-2 Bridging Between Two Segments
The bridge card provides bridging between segment A and seg-
ment B while the hub portion of the unit acts as a hub, connected
to the backbone on segment B. Any devices connected to the hub
are also part of segment B.
If the bridge is configured to block transmission of all packets
between segments, the hub is still active and continues to func-
tion independent of any bridge activities.
