Bridge/Address Table

The Express XL/XLT automatically maintains a table of MAC addresses de- tected and associates those addresses with the LAN, WAN0, or WAN1 port from which they were received. This menu permits the user to adjust the pa- rameters or rules for the table as addresses are learned.

Address Table/Aging

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

This is the maximum time an idle MAC address remains in the table before be- ing removed. The value is in minutes and can range from 0 (which means nev- er 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 desti- nation MAC address that is not in the bridge table is forwarded to all other ports. When set to Known, the packet with the unknown destination MAC address is dropped and is not forwarded.
