When you disable bridging at a port interface, you disconnect that port’s network
segment from the bridge entirely. The port does not forward any packets, nor
does it participate in Spanning Tree operations. Nodes connected to that network
segment can still communicate with one another, but they can’t communicate
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.
NOTE
For more information about bridging functions and how to determine the current state of
each bridge port, see Bridge Port Display Forms,
page 2-13 , and Chapter 6, Using the
7C0x SmartSwitch Bridge View .
