From the Bridge menu, you can:
Configure spanning tree.
Configure source protocol filtering, source address filtering, and destination
address filtering.
Display the forwarding table for the bridge.
Construct a static table (a table of source/destination pairs which you do not
want to be aged out of the forwarding table) for the bridge.
The following subsections tell you how to perform these operations.
Configuring the Spanning Tree
Spanning tree (IEEE 802.1d) is a technique that detects loops in a network and
logically blocks the redundant paths, ensuring that only one route exists between
any two LANs. It eliminates the duplication of packets and provides fault tolerance
for resilient networks. You can configure spanning tree for both the standard
10BASE-T Ethernet interface and the optional 10/100-BASE_T (PCI Ethernet)
interface.
