If it was passed in pieces (or if parts were left out), it will fill in the gaps to provide a full bridge ID =head2 bridge_id The bridge ID, with a Cisco-style MAC address (like C<0000.1111.2222>). =head2 priority The priority number. =head2 mac_obj The L<NetAddr::MAC> object tied to this one. =head2 NetAddr::MAC Methods All of the C<is_* / as_* / to_*> methods are "handled" to the main BridgeID object, so you can access them directly. =head1 AVAILABILITY The project homepage is L<https://github.com/SineSwiper/NetAddr-BridgeID/wiki>.
