5. filter

Syntax:

filter

Description:

This command shows the current contents of the bridge’s filter table. The MAC entries for each device are shown in turn together with the time that the MAC address was last seen by the bridge. The command also shows the current filter ageing time, in seconds, and the number of creation failures since the system was started. Creation failures occur when there is no room left in the filter table for a new entry.

Example:

DSL bridge> filter

6. filterage

Syntax:

filterage [<age>]

Description:

This command sets, or displays if no arguments are given, the filter table ageing time. The ageing time is the time after which MAC addresses are removed from the filter table when there has been no activity. The time is specified in seconds and may be any integer value in the range 10…100,000 seconds. This value may also be changed through SNMP. Changing the value of filterage has immediate effect.

Configuration saving saves this information. By default the filter ageing time is set to 300 seconds.

Example:

DSL bridge> filterage

6. flush

Syntax:

flush [<port>]

Description:

This command allows the MAC entries for a specified port, or all ports, to be removed from the filter table. The port number for a device may be determined using the device list or status commands. If the port number is omitted, all entries for all ports are removed from the filter table.

Example:

DSL bridge> flush
