Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is To connect LANS.
Key Points
- To connect LANs: This is the primary function of a bridge. It operates at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model and forwards data packets between different LAN segments based on their MAC addresses. It acts as a transparent bridge, making the connected LANs appear as a single, larger network.
Additional Information
- To control network speed: Although bridges can indirectly affect network speed by reducing congestion on individual LAN segments, their primary purpose is not speed control. Network switches and routers offer more granular control over network speed optimization than bridges.
- To separate LANs: This is not a typical function of a bridge. While bridges can segment large networks into smaller collision domains for efficiency, they still connect those segments and allow communication between them. Routers are used to separate networks and control traffic flow between them, while bridges primarily focus on connecting them.
