The Bridge Menu
The Bridge menu is available by clicking on the Bridge label above the port
display; it offers access to the following bridge-specific options, which are
discussed in detail in Chapter 5, Bridging:
•Module Type..., which displays a window containing a description of the
device being modeled; this is the same information displayed in the Device
Type window available from the Device menu. See Viewing the Device Type,
page 2-12.
•Performance Graph..., which visually displays the combined performance of
all bridging interfaces on the selected module; see Chapter 5, Bridging.
•Spanning Tree..., which allows you to set bridge parameters related to the
Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) – the method that bridges use to decide the
controlling (root) bridge when two or more bridges are in parallel. See Chapter
5, Bridging, for more information.
•Filtering Database..., which displays a window to configure the bridge’s
acquired and permanent filtering databases used to filter or forward traffic
across the 9H42x-xx module.
•Duplex Modes..., which allows you to set the Duplex Mode for each interface
on the module.
•Disable/Enable Bridge, which enables or disables bridging across every
interface on the module.
