Enabling and Disabling Ports

3-40

Using the TSX-1620 Bridge View

You can change values for the following polling interval fields:

Specifies the time, in seconds, that SPMA waits before updating the Front Panel 
information (Uptime, Location, and so forth) in the Bridge Traffic View.

to the bridge.

In Transparent bridges, the disabled port does not forward any packets, nor does 
it participate in Spanning Tree operations. When you enable a port on a 
Transparent bridge, the port moves from the Disabled state through the Blocking, 
Learning, and Listening states to the Forwarding state.

Bridge ports. The SPMA Bridge application also gives you the option of 
simultaneously disabling both Source Route and Transparent ports on an SRT 
bridge.

Transparent, and release.

When you disable a Transparent bridge port, the port’s display box turns blue. 
When you enable a Transparent bridge port, the port’s color changes to indicate
