5.1.2 Remote Hosts

A Remote Host is the VSTP's logical representation of a remote node, accessible over one or more transport connections, with which the VSTP can transact Vstp messages. The Remote Host managed object encapsulates all the characteristics of the remote node that the VSTP must know about in order to communicate successfully with it.

Select the VSTP, and then Configuration, and then Remote Hosts page. The page displays the elements on the Remote Hosts View, Insert, and Edit pages.

Note:

Data Input Notes apply to the Insert and Edit pages only; the View page is read-only.
