Chapter 7 Bridge Screens
ZyWALL 5/35/70 Series User’s Guide
163
Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for Hello BPDUs
(Bridge Protocol Data Units) transmitted from the root bridge. If a bridge does not get a Hello
BPDU after a predefined interval (Max Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the root
bridge is down. This bridge then initiates negotiations with other bridges to reconfigure the
network to re-establish a valid network topology.
7.2.4 STP Port States
STP assigns five port states (see next table) to eliminate packet looping. A bridge port is not
allowed to go directly from blocking state to forwarding state so as to eliminate transient
loops.
7.3 Bridge
Select
Bridge
and click
Apply
in the
MAINTENANCE Device Mode
screen to have the
ZyWALL function as a bridge.
In bridge mode, the ZyWALL functions as a transparent firewall (also known as a bridge
firewall). The ZyWALL bridges traffic traveling between the ZyWALL's interfaces and still
filters and inspects packets. You do not need to change the configuration of your existing
network.
You can use the firewall and VPN in bridge mode.Click
