2.Set the address filtering attributes (hard-coded addresses that are not to be forwarded to, or that should always be forwarded to) using the SET FILTER command. At this time you should also set any other bridge settings that need to be changed before actually setting the channels to bridge, such as Spanning Tree parameters.

3.The default setting is for the Bridge Module to configure the channels from the dip switch settings at startup and when rebooted. If you set the channels through management (through a network management module or from Bridge Module Management) you need to issue the command as shown below to ensure that in the future, the Bridge Module configures from the values in memory:

OEBM> set bridge dip_configuration disable [ENTER]

OEBM> save bridge [ENTER]

4.Select the channels that the module will bridge using one of the three procedures explained below.

a.Using a terminal attached to the Bridge Module, issue the SET BRIDGE CHANNEL command. For example, the commands SET BRIDGE CHANNEL PORT1 1 and SET BRIDGE CHANNEL PORT2 2 will bridge channels 1 and 2 on the concentrator backplane.

Refer to Chapter 4 for a complete description of the SET BRIDGE CHANNEL command.

b.Using a terminal attached to a network management module, issue the SET PORT NETWORK command. For example, the command below sets port 1 of a Bridge Module in slot 5 to backplane network 1. Refer to the appropriate ONline Management Module Installation and Operation Guide for a complete description of the SET PORT NETWORK command.

EMM> set port 5.1 network ethernet_1 [ENTER]
