across one hop.

through bridges. Handles both multipoint connections and point-to-point
connections.

802.1ag protocol for transport. Applies to both multipoint and point-to-point
connections.
In addition, the 802.1ag and Y.1731 protocol screens contain a special
Discovery setup.
To change to a different protocol, the state of the current protocol will be set to 'Off'.
The configuration options available in the setup area of the screen are
described below. The status information is described in a separate section.
