Spanning
Tree Enable
Enables or disables the spanning tree algorithm.
Default: No
Yes
Enables the spanning tree algorithm if your network topology contains
redundant bridge/LAN connections.
No
Disables the spanning tree algorithm if your network topology contains a single
bridge or multiple, non-redundant bridges.
If you enable source routing, the spanning tree algorithm is always enabled
regardless of the value assigned to the Spanning Tree Enable parameter.
Forwarding Table Size specifies the maximum size of the forwarding table.
The forwarding table contains the list of end-station addresses learned by the
bridge, plus all source-address filters and destination-address filters. The value
entered for the Forwarding Table Size parameter sets the maximum size of the
table. There are seven options for Forwarding Table Size:
02048
64 4096
512 8192
1024 (default)
