Operating State - HP 10:10 LAN Bridge MB Installation And Reference Manual

OPerating State

Enter OP at the Config prompt to display the current bridge operating state and to receive a
prompt allowing you to specify a new operating state. The possible operating state values are
Learning, Learning/STP, Secure, Secure/STP, and Bridge Off. Enter HE at the Operating
State prompt to get help on completing this task.
Default Configuration: Learning.
For more information about how the operating state affects the bridge function, see
chapter 6, "How the Bridge Works".
Note
The bridge uses the address table differently when it is in learning mode than
when it is in secure mode. If you change the operating state from a
learning-mode state (Learning or Learning/STP) to a secure-mode state (Secure
or Secure/STP), or from a secure-mode state to a learning-mode state, to prevent
the wrong packets from being transmitted between the LANs, the bridge
automatically deletes all the static and dynamic table entries.
After you make such an operating state change, use the ADdress table
command to enter the correct static entries for the new operating state.
