The Bridge parameters allow you to view MAC address table for a Baystack
380-24F Gigabit Switch.
This chapter describes the bridge information available in Device Manager on the

The MAC address used by the bridge must be referred to in a unique fashion;
moreover, it should be the smallest MAC address (numerically) of all ports that
belong to the bridge. However, it is only required to be unique when integrated
with
dot1dStpPriority. A unique BridgeIdentifier is formed that is used
in the Spanning Tree Protocol.
To view the Base tab:
From the Device Manager menu bar, select Edit > Bridge.
The Bridge dialog box opens with the Base tab displayed (Figure 52).
