Enabling and Disabling Ports
When you disable bridging at a port interface, you disconnect that portÕs network
from the bridge entirely. The port does not forward any packets, nor does it
participate in Spanning Tree operations. Nodes connected to the network can still
communicate with each other, but they canÕt communicate with the bridge or
with other networks connected to the bridge. When you enable bridging for the
interface, the port moves from the Disabled state through the Listening and
Learning states to the Forwarding state; bridge port state color codes will change
accordingly.
To enable or disable bridging for an individual interface:
1.
Click on the appropriate port display box to display the port menu.
2.
Drag down to select Enable to enable bridging at the interface, or Disable to
disable bridging. Bridging will now be enabled or disabled across the selected
port, as desired.
To enable or disable bridging for all interfaces installed in the SmartSwitch 7000
chassis:
1.
Click on the module index for the 7X00 Control Module (always installed in
slot 1) to display the 7X00 Module menu.
2.
Drag down to select Enable Bridge to enable bridging at all installed
interfaces, or Disable Bridge to disable bridging across all interfaces.
Bridging will now be enabled or disabled across the installed interfaces, as
desired.
NOTE
In accordance with Year 2000 compliance requirements, SPECTRUM Element Manager
now displays and allows you to set all dates with four-digit year values.
NOTE
For more information about bridging functions and how to determine the current state of
each bridge port, see the bridging chapter of your
