Bridge Number Ð This Þeld displays the number uniquely identifying the
bridge when more than one bridge is used to span the same two segments.
Ring In Number Ð This Þeld displays the number that uniquely identiÞes
the segment to which this port is connected.
Ring Out Number Ð This Þeld displays the segment number that
corresponds to the target segment this port is considered to be connected to by
the bridge.
Hop Count Ð This Þeld displays the number of routing descriptors allowed
in an All Paths or Spanning Tree Explorer frame.
Largest Frame Ð This Þeld displays the maximum size of the INFO Þeld
that this port can send or receive.
STE Span Mode Ð This Þeld lets you determine how the port behaves when
presented with a Spanning Tree Explorer frame. When disabled, the port will

In addition, the Source Route ConÞguration view also provides three
convenient controls:
The Sort button, which is normally inactive (grayed out), becomes active
when you click any one of the column-heading labels in the Source Route
Bridge ConÞguration Table (that is, Port, Bridge Number, etc.); if you then
click on this Sort button while it is active, the system sorts the row entries in
accordance with the entries in whichever column you clicked to activate the
button.
When this ÒgenericÓ view is used with certain other SPECTRUM modules, the
Find button can provide enhanced seaching funcitonality for a speciÞc
address, etc.,but this functionality is not implemented for the TRBMIM and
this button is grayed out (inactive).
Clicking on the Update button updates the data contents of the Source Route
Bridge ConÞguration Table.
Double-clicking on any entry in the Source Route Bridge ConÞguration Table
view opens the Source Route Port ConÞguration view for whichever port is
associated with that entry. For further information concerning that view, refer
to the following section.
