9T122-08 Module Specific Information

Bridge Path Cost

Allows you to enter (as a hexadecimal number) the cost of the path to the root as seen from the speciÞed bridge. Valid bridge path costs range from 00000001 to 0FFFFFFF.

Interface Number

Lists each bridge interface on the selected module; FNB, TR1, and TR2.

MAC/Local Address

Lists the hardware address of each listed bridge interface.

Bridge State

Displays the current state of each listed interface. The possible interface states include:

Disabling:

Management has disabled this interface. No trafÞc can be received

 

or forwarded while the interface is disabled.

Learning:

The bridge is learning this interfaceÕs network addresses. 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 trafÞc while preparing to move

 

from the learning to the forwarding state.

Forwarding:

The bridge is on-line and this interface is forwarding trafÞc.

Blocking:

This interface will not forward any trafÞc through the bridge.

Status (Toggle)

Allows you to set the bridge forwarding status of the listed interface (either ENABLED or DISABLED). Press the Space Bar to toggle to the desired value.
