Displaying basic system bridge information
Use this procedure to display basic system bridge information, including the MAC address, type, and number of ports participating in the bridge.
Procedure steps
From the navigation tree, double-click Edit.
From the Edit tree, click Bridge.
Select the Base tab.
The following table outlines the parameters for the Base tab.
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| BridgeAddress | Indicates the MAC address of the bridge when it is referred to in a unique fashion. This address must be the smallest MAC address of all ports that belong to the bridge and needs to be unique. When concatenated with dot1dStpPriority, a unique bridge ID is formed that is then used in the Spanning Tree Protocol. |
| NumPorts | Indicates the number of ports controlled by the bridging entity. |
| Type | Indicates the type of bridging this bridge can perform. If the bridge is actually performing a certain type of bridging, this fact is indicated by entries in the port table for the given type. |
