The Device View
Figure 2-28. The Bridge Extension Configuration Window
The Bridge Capability fields indicate whether the device implements certain IEEE
802.1D and 802.1Q functionality:
Extended Multicast Filtering Service
Devices that implement this functionality can perform filtering of individual multicast addresses controlled by GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol). GMRP is a protocol used to register multicast addresses on ports to control flooding of multicast frames.
Traffic Classes
Devices that implement this functionality can map user priority to multiple traffic classes. Priority is mapped to a specific traffic class (queue number), and frames are transmitted based on what queue they are in. Frames in the highest numbered queue are transmitted out a port first.
Static Entry Individual Port
Devices that implement this functionality allow you to specify ports that frames must be received from for filtering information to apply.
VLAN Learning
Displays the filtering database modes of operation implemented by the device:
