Base tab
The Base tab displays basic Bridge information including the MAC address,
type, and number of ports participating in the Bridge.
You must uniquely refer to the MAC address used by the bridge. The Mac
address must be the smallest MAC address (numerically) of all ports that
belong to the bridge. However, the Mac address must be unique only when
it is integrated with dot1dStpPriority. A unique BridgeIdentifier is formed and
is used in the Spanning Tree Protocol.
To view the Base tab, perform the following procedure.
