State
This field allows you to change the state of the individual remote ports. By default, only two ports (one local port and one virtual port) are in the forwarding state, meaning traffic can pass through them. The other ports can be enabled, if required, by placing them in the Enabled state.
Action
This field provides action buttons to add or delete bridge ports. The maximum number of remote bridge ports is four.
Deleting bridge ports might be useful if you want to use more than the eight PPP/PPTP ATM connections available by default.
Aging Table
This table allows you to alter, if necessary, the aging timer of the bridge internal database. Only in exceptional cases should you modify the default value of 300 seconds (five minutes). The allowed range is from 10 seconds to 12 days, which complies with the IEEE 802.1D bridging standard.
The Aging Table is shown in figure 40.
