Flushing Dynamic Addresses

You can flush all static and dynamic MAC addresses from the selected port(s). Static MAC addresses are those that you specified using the add menu option. Dynamic MAC addresses are those that were automatically learned by the bridge.

To flush all addresses:

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

bridge port address flushAll

You are prompted for the port type.

2Enter Ethernet, FDDI, or all.

You are prompted for the port number(s).

3Enter the number(s) of the port(s) or all.

All addresses are flushed from the ports you specified.

You can flush all dynamic (automatically learned) addresses from the selected port(s).

To flush dynamic addresses:

Freezing Dynamic Addresses

1From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:

bridge port address flushDynamic

You are prompted for the port type.

2Enter Ethernet, FDDI, or all.

You are prompted for the port number(s).

3Enter the number(s) of the port(s) or all.

The addresses are flushed from the address table.

You can convert all the dynamic addresses associated with the selected port(s) into static addresses. This conversion is called “freezing” the addresses. Freezing dynamic addresses is a way to improve your network security.
