9T122-08 Module Specific Information
Bridge Path Cost
Allows you to enter (as a hexadecimal number) the cost of the path to the root as
seen from the speciÞed bridge. Valid bridge path costs range from 00000001 to
0FFFFFFF.
Interface Number
Lists each bridge interface on the selected module; FNB, TR1, and TR2.
MAC/Local Address
Lists the hardware address of each listed bridge interface.
Bridge State
Displays the current state of each listed interface. The possible interface states
include:
Disabling: Management has disabled this interface. No trafÞc can be received
or forwarded while the interface is disabled.
Learning: The bridge is learning this interfaceÕs network addresses. The
bridge enters the learning state when the Transparent Database is
created (during start-up or after being deleted), or when the
Spanning Tree Algorithm detects a network topology change.
Listening: The bridge is not adding information to the Transparent Database.
The bridge is monitoring BPDU trafÞc while preparing to move
from the learning to the forwarding state.
Forwarding: The bridge is on-line and this interface is forwarding trafÞc.
Blocking: This interface will not forward any trafÞc through the bridge.
Status (Toggle)
Allows you to set the bridge forwarding status of the listed interface (either
ENABLED or DISABLED). Press the
Space Bar to toggle to the desired value.
