Using the Bridge Menu

The Bridge menu is used to configure settings for the Spanning
Tree Algorithm, as well as the global bridge settings for GMRP
(GARP Multicast Registration Protocol) and GVRP (GARP VLAN
Registration Protocol), traffic class priority threshold, and address
aging time.
The Spanning Tree Algorithm can be used to detect and disable
network loops, and to provide backup links between switches,
bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other
bridging devices (that is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or
router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists
between any two stations on the network, and provide backup
links which automatically take over when a primary link goes
down. For a more detailed description of how to use this
algorithm, refer to "Spanning Tree Algorithm" on page 4-4.
