Bridge/Address Table
The Express 4100/41 10 automatically maintains a table of MAC addresses
detected and associates those addresses with the LAN, WAN0, or WAN1
port fr om which they wer e received. This menu permits the user to adj ust
the parameters or rules for the table as addresses are learned.
Address Table/Aging
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
This is the maxim um time an idle MAC address remains in the table
before being removed. The value is in minutes and can range from 0
(which means never age) to 65535. The default is 5.
Address Table/Forward Policy
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
When this parameter is set to Unknown (def), any bridge packet with a
destination MAC addr ess that is not in the bridge table is forwar ded to all
other ports. When set to Known, the packet with the unknown destina-
tion MAC address is dropped and is not forwarded.
