Enabling and Disabling Ports
When you disable bridging at a port interface, you disconnect that port’s network from the bridge entirely. The port does not forward any packets, nor does it participate in Spanning Tree operations. Nodes connected to the network can still communicate with each other, but they can’t communicate with the bridge or with other networks connected to the bridge. When you enable bridging for the interface, the port moves from the Disabled state through the Listening and Learning states to the Forwarding state; bridge port state color codes will change accordingly.
