Bridges/SwitchesURL: http:// Bridges/Switches interconnect multiple LAN segments/ hosts/ gateways at the data link layer. Most bridges/switches also provide MAC address learning features that can reduce the unnecessary broadcast of frames and thus collisions across all of the LAN segments/hosts to be interconnected. They can also be used to interconnect different types of LAN technologies, e.g. between a 10BT and a 100BT Ethernet segments. 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol is usually run by bridges/switches to automatically eliminate the formation of loops within the interconnected LAN. Keywords: LAN interconnection, bridging, switching, loop. |
