To change the subnet mask, at the LCM prompt:
1.Type ipaddr
For example, ipaddr 6 192.138.217.40 255.255.240.0 would set the subnet mask for port 6 to 255.255.240.0. LCM responds by redisplaying the current address table.
Note: When you change the subnet mask for a port, you must also enter the IP address for that port. Make sure you enter the IP address for the port correctly; whatever you enter becomes the IP address for that port.
3.2 ENABLING BRIDGING
The LCM bridge command allows you to set bridging options for a single port or a range of ports. The options include:
•off
•on (the default with BPDU enabled)
•noBPDU
BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) is a data unit transmitted as part of the IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree protocol. The exchange of BPDUs allows bridges within a network to logically configure the network as a single spanning tree.
Note: Selecting the noBPDU option could make your network inoperable
