Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Hub View
The Bridge Application Display
The Bridge Application Display — available only for devices which have been
configured (via Local Management) to operate as traditional bridges — allows
you to view each bridge interface according to bridging status and statistics; it
also provides access to the Bridge and Bridge Port menus (Figure 2-9), from which
you can launch the Bridge View application, change the port display form, view a
list of source addresses communicating through a selected interface, and enable
or disable a selected interface. This is the default display mode for devices
configured for traditional bridging.
