Setting up bridging

The Bridge parameters allow you to view MAC address table for a Baystack 380-24F Gigabit Switch.

This chapter describes the bridge information available in Device Manager on the following tab:

•Base tab (next)

Base tab

The MAC address used by the bridge must be referred to in a unique fashion; moreover, it should be the smallest MAC address (numerically) of all ports that belong to the bridge. However, it is only required to be unique when integrated with dot1dStpPriority. A unique BridgeIdentifier is formed that is used in the Spanning Tree Protocol.

To view the Base tab:

➨From the Device Manager menu bar, select Edit > Bridge.

The Bridge dialog box opens with the Base tab displayed (Figure 52).
