NOTES
The Bridge and Bridge Mapping status modes will not be supported for devices which
have been configured for SecureFast switching. Firmware versions 2.01.05 and above

toggle from traditional bridging to SecureFast switching is performed via Local
Management; see your Local Management documentation for details.
