options.
IEEE 802.1D Bridge
The VH-8TX1UM/VH-8TX1MF switch is fully compliant with IEEE 802.1D
transparent bridging specifications. An address table is provided for
learning, filtering, and forwarding. The switch can support up to a
maximum of 8K addresses. Addresses are automatically learned by the

Spanning Tree Protocol. This protocol allows redundant connections to
be created between different LAN segments for purposes of fault
tolerance. Two or more physical paths between different segments can be
created through the switch, with the Spanning Tree Protocol choosing a
single path at any given time and disabling all others. If the chosen path
