Forwarding tab

The Forwarding tab displays the current state of the port, as defined by application of the Spanning Tree Protocol. This state controls what action a port takes when a frame is received. If the bridge detects a port that is malfunctioning, it places the port into the "broken" state. For ports that are disabled, the value is "disabled."

To view the Forwarding tab:

  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose Edit > Bridge.
    2. The Bridge dialog box opens, with the Base tab displayed.
  2. Click the Forwarding tab.
    3. The Forwarding tab opens.
