Operating

This option allows you to activate or deactivate the bridge. In the default configuration,

 

the bridge is activated.

 

If the device is used just as an IP router connection, the bridge should be deactivated.

Bridge table

This option allows you to display the entries in the current bridge table. The table is

 

automatically created and managed by means of a hash procedure. It comprises max.

 

512 entries.

 

 

 

Entries in the bridge table may appear as shown below when the bridge has acquired

 

local and remote MAC addresses over time:

 

 

Node ID

Last-access

Forward-, Filter-Flag

 

00a05702000a

4 tics

local

 

0800096483D 4

105073354 tics

local

 

00001b157de0

105079059 tics

remote

 

The last access time to occur since the system was switched on is stored as a multiple

 

of 9 ms (tics). The forward flag reflects the location of the MAC address. An entry in the

 

form 00a057XXXXXX is the unique MAC address of the device.

 

The 'forward flag' column is output for remote configuration only. This column is not

 

included in the display.

 

 

Broadcast

This option allows you to specify whether broadcast data packets are to be transmitted

 

always (pos = default), never (neg), or only when a connection exists (sem).

Multicast

This option allows you to specify whether multicast data packets are to be transmitted

 

always (pos = default), never (neg), or only when a connection exists (sem).
