Figure 3-5. The Filtering Database Window

NOTE

When you ﬁrst initialize the Filtering Database window, a message will appear to inform you that data is being retrieved. The message will disappear when all information has been returned from the Filtering Database, and you will be able to view and conﬁgure database entries.

A scrollable Address Entry panel allows you to:

•View the address entries in the Filtering Database.

•Alter an entry’s type (e.g., from Learned to Permanent, Dynamic, or Static).

•View and conﬁgure the bridging action taking place on the packets entering each of the bridging ports.

In addition, you can use buttons to add individual addresses to, or delete them from, these databases, or clear all Permanent, Static, or Dynamic entries in the database.
