Enabling Bridging
NOTE |
When you change the subnet mask for a port, you must also enter the IP address for that port. Make sure you enter the IP address for the port correctly; whatever you enter becomes the IP address.
3.2 ENABLING BRIDGING
The LCM bridge command allows you to set bridging options for a single port or a range of ports. The options include:
•off
•on (the default with BPDU enabled)
•noBPDU
BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) is a data unit transmitted as part of the IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree protocol. The exchange of BPDUs allows bridges within a network to logically configure the network as a single spanning tree.
NOTE |
Selecting the noBPDU option could make your network inoperable because the FN10 would be unable to detect loops.
Using LCM to enable bridging for a port or port range, at the LCM prompt:
1.Type bridge
For example, bridge 2 on would enable bridging on port 2.
LCM responds:
Port 2 bridging: Transparent Bridging
