learned at each interface (port) of the bridge. The bridge configuration is automatic and requires no
user configuration.
Figure 71:
Bridge Configuration - Bridge & STP
Each bridge name is composed of a prefix,
br
, together with a bridge number. When the VLAN
feature is enabled, the VLAN ID is used as the bridge number.
br1
represents VLAN 1 and is the
default bridge for forwarding user data traffic.
br4094
represents VLAN 4094, which is an
internal VLAN assigned to the default bridge used for the Spanning Tree Protocol (see “Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP)” on page 103).
The Bridge table on the Summary tab lists each bridge and its associated interfaces (or ports). The
Bridge Forwarding table, located at the bottom of the panel, lists each bridge and interface, and
specifies which MAC addresses are learned at the interface.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
The Summary tab also provides an option for enabling or disabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
STP is a protocol that prevents bridging loops from forming due to incorrectly configured
networks. STP provides protection against looping, but it does increase network overhead. Before
STP allows traffic through a specific port, there may be a time lapse of 30 seconds. Operations may
also take longer than normal.
