Spanning Tree Protocol Support

3Com Network Director monitors the spanning tree state of links in your network for which the spanning tree protocol is enabled. The map is dynamically updated to show which links are currently disabled by spanning tree protocol using the annotation indicated above.

The spanning tree state annotation is always displayed on links that spanning tree protocol has disabled. This annotation cannot be disabled.

Pull-Right Menu for Physical Links

Right-clicking on a physical link in the map produces a pop-up menu. The following table describes each of the menu items in the pop-up.
