Filtering Database 3-259E312/9E423 Module Bridging
Changing the Port Filtering Action
For a Static, Dynamic, or Permanent Filtering Database entry, you can change the
Port Filtering action at each bridge port so that traffic with the associated source
address will be filtered or forwarded at the port, as configured.
1. Scroll through the address list until the entry appears for which you want to
define filtering information.
2. Maneuver the scroll bar until the port for which filtering action is desired
displays in the Port Filtering panel.
3. Click on the port to alter its filtering action from forwarding frames from the
associated source address () to filtering frames () (or vice versa).
Adding or Deleting Individual Entries
You can add or delete static filtering entries individually from the Filtering
Database.
To add an address:
1. Click on in the lower left of the window. A window (Figure 3-6) will
appear.
2. In the Filter Address field, type in the address (Hex format) for which you
desire bridging. Be sure to add “-” as a separator between each byte in the
address.

3. In the Receive Port field, type in the port at which the address must be
detected for bridging to take place. If you enter a value of 0 in this field, the
Receive Port is considered promiscuous (i.e., any port), and will be
designated by an * in the Address Entry panel.
4. Click on OK.
