Usage Guidelines

When the interface is down, all bridge table entries learned on the Ethernet interface are set to discard because traffic is not bridged until the cable interface has completed initialization. After the interface (the line protocol) is completely up, bridge table entries learned on the Ethernet interface program the cable MAC data filters. The cable MAC hardware filters out any received packets whose addresses are not in the filters. In this way, the cable interface only receives packets addressed to its own MAC address or an address it has learned on the Ethernet interface.
