Table 42 describes the Base tab fields.

Table 42 Base tab fields

Field	Description

BridgeAddress	MAC address of the bridge when it is referred to in a unique fashion.
	This address should be the smallest MAC address of all ports that
	belong to the bridge. However, it is has to be unique. When
	concatenated with dot1dStpPriority, a unique bridge ID is formed that is
	then used in the Spanning Tree Protocol.

NumPorts	Number of ports controlled by the bridging entity.

Type	Indicates the type of bridging this bridge can perform. If the bridge is
	actually performing a certain type of bridging, this fact will be indicated
	by entries in the port table for the given type.

Spanning Tree tab

The Spanning Tree tab displays the version of the spanning tree protocol currently running. If future versions of the IEEE spanning tree protocol are released that are incompatible with the current version, a new value will be defined.

To view the Spanning Tree tab:

1From the Device Manager menu bar, choose Edit > Bridge. The Bridge dialog box opens, with the Base tab displayed.
