Virtual Bridging Functions

All multiservice switches are designed to support:

Up to 28,000 MAC addresses in the switch address
forwarding table — allows the switch to store forwarding
information for hosts in very large networks.

Segmented address tables qualified by address and VLAN
membership — allows the same host to appear on different
VLANs on different ports.

Optional per-VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol — isolates loop
control to smaller domains, so spanning trees converge faster
after a topology change.
