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.
