Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Bridge View

The Port ID of the port on the Designated Bridge for this port’s segment. The 
Designated Port is the bridge port that offers the lowest path cost to the Root 
Bridge. 

The number of times this port has moved from the Learning state to the 
Forwarding state since the device was started or since it was last reset.

To change a port’s Priority or Path Cost:

1.

In the scroll list, click mouse button 1 on the port you want to change (use the 
scroll bar if necessary to display the desired port). You can only select one 
port at a time. The highlighted port’s Spanning Tree parameters appear in the 
boxes below the list.

2.

Highlight and edit the Priority and Path Cost boxes as required. After you 
type in the new value in a box, press Enter or Return on the keyboard. 

The Bridge application uses the SPMA Charts, Graphs and Meters tools to depict 
bridge statistics describing activity at the bridge-port level. Once running, 
however, a pie chart, graph or meter is independent from the application where it 
was started. Although the windows you open to create pie charts, graphs and 
meters have unique variable lists, the procedures for creating a pie chart, a graph 
or a meter are the same.

To access the Pie Chart, Graph, and Meters tools from the Bridge Traffic View Port 
menus:

1.

Click mouse button 3 on a Bridge Port box to display the Bridge Port menu.

2.

Drag down to select Pie Chart or Graphs/Meters—>Transparent.
