Allied Telesis AT-WR4500 manual Port Settings, Submenu level /interface bridge port

AT-WR4500 Series - IEEE 802.11abgh Outdoor Wireless Routers	79
RouterOS v3 Configuration and User Guide

Property Description

admin-mac:(MAC address) - MAC address assigned to the bridge if auto-mac = no

ageing-time(time; default: 5m) - how long a host information will be kept in the bridge database

arp (disabled enabled proxy-arp reply-only; default: enabled) - Address Resolution Protocol setting auto-mac(yes no; default:yes ) - if yes bridge use the lowest MAC address available from its ports, else use the MAC address specifed in the admin-mac field.

forward-delay(time; default: 15s) - time which is spent during the initialization phase of the bridge interface (i.e., after router startup or enabling the interface) in listening/learning state before the bridge will start functioning normally

mac-address(read-only: MAC address) - MAC address for the interface

max-message-age(time; default: 20s) - how long to remember Hello messages received from other bridges

mtu (integer; default: 1500) - Maximum Transmission Unit

name (name; default: bridgeN) - a descriptive name of the bridge interface

priority (integer: 0..65535; default: 32768) - bridge interface priority. The priority argument is used by Spanning Tree Protocol to determine, which port remains enabled if at least two ports form a loop protocol mode (none rstp stp; default: none) - whether to enable the Spanning Tree Protocol or the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. Bridging loops will only be prevented if this property is turned on transmit-hold-count

Example

To add and enable a bridge interface that will forward all the protocols:

[admin@AT-WR4562] interface bridge> add; print Flags: X - disabled, R - running

1 R name="bridge1" mtu=1500 arp=enabled mac-address=00:0D:B9:12:B3:F9 protocol-mode=none priority=0x8000 auto-mac=yes admin-mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 max-message-age=20s forward-delay=15s transmit-hold-count=6 ageing-time=5m

4.5.3 Port Settings

Submenu level: /interface bridge port

Description

The submenu is used to enslave interfaces in a particular bridge interface.

Property Description

edge (auto no no-discover yes yes-discover; default: auto ) - an edge port is a switch port that is never intended to be connected to another bidge device

external-fdb(auto no yes; default: auto ) external forwarding layer 2 database

point-to-point(auto no yes; default: auto ) - in a point-to-poiny link it is assumed that the port is connected to a single device at the other end of the link

bridge (name; default: none) - the bridge interface the respective interface is grouped in none - the interface is not grouped in any bridge

interface (read-only: name) - interface name, which is to be included in a bridge

path-cost(integer: 0..65535; default: 10) - path cost to the interface, used by STP to determine the 'best' path

priority (integer: 0..255; default: 128) - interface priority compared to other interfaces, which are destined to the same network

￿

Starting from version 2.9.9, the ports in this list should be added, not set, see the following examples.
