Enabling Bridging - Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100 User Manual

To change the subnet mask, at the LCM prompt:
1. Type
ipaddr <PORT-NUMBER> <IP ADDRESS> <SUBNET MASK>
For example,
the subnet mask for port 6 to 255.255.240.0. LCM responds by
redisplaying the current address table.
Note: When you change the subnet mask for a port, you must also enter
the IP address for that port. Make sure you enter the IP address for
the port correctly; whatever you enter becomes the IP address for
that port.

BPDU
BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) is a data unit transmitted as part
of the IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree protocol. The exchange of BPDUs
allows bridges within a network to logically configure the network
as a single spanning tree.
Note: Selecting the noBPDU option could make your network inoperable
because the ELS100-16TX would be unable to detect loops.
