Figure2-28. 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
