26 Configuring and Monitoring the Switch DNswitch 800
Configuring Bridge MIB Extensions
The Bridge MIB includes extensions for managed devices that support
Traffic Classes, Multicast Filtering and Virtual LANs. To configure these
extensions, use the Extended Bridge Configuration screen as shown
below:
Bridge Capability
Figure 3-18. Bridge Capability
FastForwarding ENABLED This parameter is used to enable/disabled the
Fast Spanning Tree mode for the port. In this
mode, ports skip the Blocked, Listening and
Learning states and proceed straight to
Forwarding.
FastForwarding enables end-node workstations
and servers to overcome time-out problems when
the Spanning Tree Algorithm is implemented in a
network. Therefore, FastForwarding should only
be enabled for ports that are connected to an end-
node device.
Parameter Description
Extended Multicast
Filtering Services Indicates that the switch does not support the filtering of
individual multicast addresses based on GMRP (GARP
Multicast Registration Protocol). Note that this function is not
implemented in the current firmware release.
Traffic Classes Indicates that the switch provides mapping of user priorities to
multiple traffic classes. (Refer to the Priority menu on page 28.)
Static Entry
Individual Port Indicates that the switch allows the static filtering of unicast and
multicast addresses. (Refer to the Address Table Configuration
on page 19.)
Configurable
PVID Tagging Indicates that the switch allows you to override the default PVID
setting (Port VLAN ID used in frame tags) and its egress status
(VLAN-Tagged or Untagged) on each port. (Refer to VLAN Port
Configuration on page 36.)
Local VLAN
Capable This switch does not support multiple local bridges (that is,
multiple Spanning Trees).
