When you disable bridging at a port interface, you disconnect that portÕs network 
from the bridge entirely. The port does not forward any packets, nor does it 
participate in Spanning Tree operations. Nodes connected to the network can still 
communicate with each other, but they canÕt communicate with the bridge or 
with other networks connected to the bridge. When you enable bridging for the 
interface, the port moves from the Disabled state through the Listening and 
Learning states to the Forwarding state; bridge port state color codes will change 
accordingly.

To enable or disable bridging for an individual interface:

1.

Click on the appropriate port display box to display the port menu.

2.

Drag down to select Enable to enable bridging at the interface, or Disable to 
disable bridging. Bridging will now be enabled or disabled across the selected 
port, as desired.

To enable or disable bridging for all interfaces installed in the SmartSwitch 7000 
chassis:

1.

Click on the module index for the 7X00 Control Module (always installed in 
slot 1) to display the 7X00 Module menu.

2.

Drag down to select Enable Bridge to enable bridging at all installed 
interfaces, or Disable Bridge to disable bridging across all interfaces. 
Bridging will now be enabled or disabled across the installed interfaces, as 
desired.
