Enabling and Disabling Ports
When you disable bridging at a port interface, you disconnect that portÕs network from the bridge entirely. The port does not forward any packets, nor does it participate in Spanning Tree operations. Nodes connected to the network can still communicate with each other, but they canÕt communicate with the bridge or with other networks connected to the bridge. When you enable bridging for the interface, the port moves from the Disabled state through the Listening and Learning states to the Forwarding state; bridge port state color codes will change accordingly.
To enable or disable bridging for an individual interface:
1.Click on the appropriate port display box to display the port menu.
2.Drag down to select Enable to enable bridging at the interface, or Disable to disable bridging. Bridging will now be enabled or disabled across the selected port, as desired.
To enable or disable bridging for all interfaces installed in the SmartSwitch 7000 chassis:
1.Click on the module index for the 7X00 Control Module (always installed in slot 1) to display the 7X00 Module menu.
2.Drag down to select Enable Bridge to enable bridging at all installed interfaces, or Disable Bridge to disable bridging across all interfaces. Bridging will now be enabled or disabled across the installed interfaces, as desired.
NOTE |
For more information about bridging functions and how to determine the current state of each bridge port, see the bridging chapter of your Tools Guide.
