Selecting the bridge icon brings up the Bridging Information dialogue
box.
In this we can set the Bridge Number (in a resilient network) and the
global hop count limit - this has a maximum of 7 for the IBM spanning
tree option and 13 for IEEE 802.1d.
We can choose the spanning tree option we want to use. Don’t forget
that this must be consistent over all relevant devices on the network.
We can also choose whether the switch will support SRT or SR only.
Selecting SR only will change the spanning tree mode to IBM SR.
