Bridging

When a sending station needs to determine the best route to an intended destination, it transmits an All Paths Explorer (APE) frame. The APE frame contains no routing information; it is propagated along all available paths to the destination station, which then directs a reply back to the source. The Þrst reply received by the original sending station is considered the most efÞcient route and is used in subsequent transmissions.

Span. Tree Expl.

Displays the total number of Spanning Tree Explorer (STE) frames received by the indicated port from its attached segment.

STE frames, also known as Single Route Broadcast frames, follow the topology established by the Spanning Tree Algorithm.

Transmitted Frames

Specif. Routed

Displays the total number of SpeciÞcally Routed Frames transmitted by the indicated port onto its attached segment.

All Paths Expl.

Displays the total number of All Path Explorer frames transmitted by the indicated port onto its attached segment.

Span Tree Expl.

Displays the total number of Spanning Tree Explorer (STE) frames transmitted by the indicated port onto its attached segment.

Discards

Segment Mismatch

Displays the number of explorer frames discarded because their routing descriptor Þeld contained an invalid value for a segment attached to the port.

The routing information Þeld of a SpeciÞcally Routed frame contains LAN Segment In (Ring In)ÐBridge NumberÐLAN Segment Out (Ring Out) information. If the bridgeÕs LAN Segment Out value does not match the LAN Segment Out speciÞed in the frameÕs Routing Information Field, the bridge logs a Segment Mismatch and discards the frame.

Duplicate Segment

Displays the number of frames discarded because the frameÕs Routing

Information Field identiÞes a particular segment more than once.
