2.Drag down to Application Display, then across to select the display mode you want. Note that only three selections are available at any one time: either Bridge or Switch (depending on the device’s current configuration), Interface, and None.

When you change the application display mode, the port display form will change to the default form for the chosen mode; you can change the port display form and access various management applications via each mode’s menu structure, as described in the following sections.
