English term or phrase: bridge

Definition from Watch Guard:
A piece of hardware used to connect two local area networks, or segments of a LAN, so that devices on the network can communicate without requiring a router. Bridges can only connect networks running the same protocol.

Example sentence(s):

Create a single network segment using a bridge. In this solution, the separate LAN segments are bridged together to create a single network segment. With a single network segment, neighboring nodes on separate LAN segments send packets directly to each other and bridges forward the packets to the destination node on the appropriate LAN segment. Microsoft Tech Net
A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model, and the term layer 2 switch is often used interchangeably with bridge. Wikipedia
Extend the functionality of your network with this universal Wi-Fi bridge. The bridge enables a laptop or PC user without built-in wireless capability to connect to a wireless LAN . MacWarehaouse

Example sentence(s):

En bro brukes til å dele opp et nettverk i to (eller flere) logiske segmenter, og forbinder LAN som benytter samme protokoller. Den opererer på lag 2 i SImodellen, og kan identifisere de fysiske adressene (MAC adressene) til sender og mottager. - sandved.net (studentoppgave)
ISDN som bindeledd mellom PC-LAN og LAN-LAN via routere og broer er en relativt ny teknologi; preget av endel barnesykdommer og lite utprøvd i Norge. - NORTIB (ISDN-rapporten)
Broer kobler sammen lokale nettverk (LANs) med hverandre. - Merete Asak
