Viewing Access Gateway Properties
In an access network, an access gateway configuration ensures loop-free connectivity in the event of
various failures by sending statically configured bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) toward the access
network. Using statically configured BPDUs enables the gateway device to act appropriately when
notified of the following topology changes:
• Failure of a link in the access network.
• Failure of a link between the access network and the gateway device.
• Failure of an access device.
• Failure of a gateway device.
To view access gateway properties:
Step 1 Double-click the element configured for access gateway.
Step 2 In the inventory window, choose Logical Inventory > Access Gateway > access-gateway. The group
name is appended by either MSTAG or REPAG, indicating the group type Multiple Spanning Tree
Access Gateway or Resilient Ethernet Protocol Access Gateway.
Figure 12-7 shows an example of an access gateway entry in logical inventory.
