If several devices are connected to a port, for example via a hub, the
table shows one line for each connected device.
If
D
devices with active topology discovery function and
D
devices without active topology discovery function
are connected to a port, the topology table hides the devices without ac-
tive topology discovery.
If
D
only devices without active topology discovery
are connected to a port, the table will contain one line for this port sym-
boli-cally for all devices. The line contains the number of connected de-
vices.
MAC addresses of devices that the topology table hides for the sake of
clarity, are located in the Address Table (FDB, see
“Entering static
address entries” on page 124 ).
