Table 14 Port membership types and STGs
Icon | Port type | Description |
|
|
|
| Unassigned | Port that do not belong to any STG. If no devices in the |
|
| network contain unassigned ports, a table does not open |
|
| in the contents pane. |
|
|
|
| Tagging | Port that has tagging enabled and can belong to multiple |
|
| STGs. If a tagged frame is received on a tagged port, with |
|
| a VLAN ID specified in the tag, the switch directs it to that |
|
| VLAN, if it is present. |
|
|
|
| Isolated Routing | Port that can only route IP packets and does not belong to |
| Port (IRP) | any STG or VLAN. |
|
| Note: IRPs are applicable only to the Passport 1000 |
|
| Series switch. |
|
|
|
| Bridge Routing | Port that can route IP packets as well as bridge all |
| (brouter ports) | nonroutable traffic. The routing interface is not subjected |
|
| to the Spanning Tree Protocol. |
|
| Note: Bridge routing ports, or brouter ports, are available |
|
| only on the Passport 1000 Series switch and the Passport |
|
| 8600 switch. |
