Using the TSX-1620 Bridge View
3-30 The Source Routing Configuration Window
The scroll list at the top of the window lists each physical TSX-120 port and its
Spanning Tree Explorer (STE) Span Mode, which determines how this port will
behave when presented with an STE packet. Possible values are as follows:
auto-span This value can only be returned by a bridge that
implements the Spanning Tree Protocol. A port set to
auto-span will forward an STE packet when it is in the
Forwarding state; otherwise, it will discard the packet.
disabled This value indicates that the port will not accept or send
STE packets; any STE packets received will be discarded.
forced This value indicates that the port will always accept and
propagate STE packets, regardless of its port state.

Hop Count
The Hop Count Limit (HCL) stops a frame from being forwarded over more than
the specified number of bridge hops; it sets the maximum number of routing
