Configuring Bridging
This section describes the Bridge menu and its options, including unicast and multicast routing,
spanning tree and rapid spanning tree settings, MAC multicast routing, and traffic control.
Once a VLAN is defined, bridging is performed within the VLAN. For example if a DECnet
VLAN is defined on ports 1 and 2, DECnet packets into port 1 are bridged to port 2 and DECnet
