Bridge Configuration Screen
8H02-16 User’s Guide 6-29
Type of STA (Toggle)
Allows the user to set the method that bridges use to decide which bridge
is the controlling (Root) bridge when two or more bridges exist in parallel
(Spanning Tree Algorithm). Valid entries include IEEE, DEC, and None.
To set the STA, refer to Section 6.10.1.
Port # (Read-Only)
Lists each bridge port on the device. If the number of ports is greater than
eight, then the additional ports are listed on subsequent screens.
MAC Address (Read-Only)
Displays the hardware address assigned to each listed port.
State (Read-Only)
Disabled: Management disabled this interface. No traffic is received or
forwarded while the interface is disabled.
Learning: The bridge is learning the network address of this interface. The
bridge enters the learning state when the Transparent Database is created
(during start-up or after being deleted), or when the Spanning Tree
Algorithm detects a network topology change.
Listening: The bridge is not adding information to the Transparent
Database. The bridge is monitoring BPDU traffic while preparing to move
from the learning to the forwarding state.
Forwarding: The bridge is on line and this interface is forwarding traffic.
Blocking: This interface will not forward any traffic through the bridge.
Status (Toggle)
Allows the user to disable or enable a port by setting the status of the
listed interface to either ENABLED or DISABLED. To set the port status,
refer to Section 6.10.2.
