An IP Bridge is used to divide a network without subnetting. Whenever a subnetwork is created, two IP numbers
are lost — one describing the network and the other reserved for broadcast. This does not occur with an IP
Bridge.

FIGURE 5.1 IP BRIDGE EXAMPLE
In Figure 5.1, an example of the use of an IP Bridge is given. From the available IP addresses, the range
200.240.240.4 to 200.240.240.8 is bridged to another physical location. The following parameters apply only for
IP Bridge.
