Command

Explanation

 

 

 

bridge set dhcpFilteredPort

<port>

Set the DHCP filtered port.

 

 

 

bridge set dhcpMACFiltering

disable

Disable DHCP MAC filtering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

enable

Enable DHCP MAC filtering.

 

 

 

bridge set filterage

<filterage>

Set the time of no activity after which MAC

 

 

 

 

addresses are removed from the filter table.

 

 

 

bridge set interface <name>

filtertype all

Allow all types of ethernet packets through

 

 

 

 

the port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

filtertype ip

Allow only IP/ARP types of ethernet pack-

 

 

 

 

ets through the port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

filtertype pppoe

Allow only PPPoE types of ethernet packets

 

 

 

 

through the port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

portfilter <port>

Set the other ports to which this interface

 

 

 

 

can bridge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

spanning cost <pathcost>

Allow STP to make better decisions on

 

 

 

 

which port to forward on. The lower the

 

 

 

 

cost, the more likely that port is to enter the

 

 

 

 

forwarding state. For example, you might

 

 

 

 

assign a low cost to the Ethernet port and a

 

 

 

 

higher one to a PPP interface because the

 

 

 

 

Ethernet interface has more bandwidth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

spanning priority<priority>

Allow STP to advertise different priorities

 

 

 

 

out different interfaces.

 

 

 

bridge set spanning

disabled

Ensure that the bridge acts as a transparent

 

 

 

 

bridge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

enabled

Allow the bridge to use the spanning tree

 

 

 

 

protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

forwarddelay <delay>

Set the time that the bridge spends in listen-

 

 

 

 

ing or learning states when the bridge is or

 

 

 

 

is attempting to become the root bridge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hellotime <hellotime>

Set the time after which the spanning tree

 

 

 

 

process sends notification of changes to the

 

 

 

 

root bridge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maxage <maxage>

Set the maximum age of received spanning

 

 

 

 

tree protocol information before it is dis-

 

 

 

 

carded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

priority <priority>

Assign priority to the bridge; The lower the

 

 

 

 

priority number, the more significant the

 

 

 

 

bridge becomes in protocol terms.
