The editable Description field allows you to add a descrip-
tion of the interface. If the description field is not completed
the field will default to a computed value to describe the inter-
face.
Spanning Tree Protocol allows Operation Manager devices
to:
Discover and eliminate any unexpected networks
l
loops so that there is no broadcast radiation and the
network stays healthy and reliable
Be able to function with redundant links (intentional
l
network loops) to increase the networks reliability and
fault tolerance
Click the check box of each network interface you want to
include in the bridge.
Select the interface that is to be used for selecting the MAC
address of the aggregate. The new bond inherits the MAC
address of the primary interface. On creation, any Network
Connections which exist on the Primary Interface will be
attached to the Bond/Bridge after it is initially created. When a
Bond/Bridge is deleted, any Network Connections which exist
on the aggregate interface are handed over to the Primary
Interface.
When the Primary Interface is selected, the connections inher-
ited by the new bridge are listed here.
