Field

Description

 

 

MacAddress

The MAC address used by this bridge, when it must be

 

referred to, in a unique fashion. It is the address of one of the

 

Ethernet ports.

 

 

No. of Ports

The maximum number of ports that can be controlled by this

 

bridge.

 

 

Base Type

Indicates what type of bridging this bridge can perform. It is

 

always Transparent Bridging or STP.

 

 

Aging TimeOut

The timeout period, in seconds, for aging out dynamically

 

learned forwarding information from CPEs. The value 0 can

 

be configured when aging is to be stopped.

 

 

Slaveaging TimeOut

The timeout period, in seconds, for aging out dynamically

 

learned forwarding information learned from the slave device.

 

The recommended value for this is more than or equal to the

 

value for dot1dTpAgingTimeOut. The value 0 can be

 

configured when aging is to be stopped.

 

 

Floodsupport

This is used to specify whether the unknown unicast packets

 

are to be flooded or not. The value for this is used along with

 

per vlan configuration for flood support to determine if

 

flooding has to be done for unknown unicast packet.

 

 

Bcastsupport

This is used to specify whether the broadcasting is supported

 

or not. The value for this is used along with per vlan

 

configuration broadcast support, to determine if broadcasting

 

has to be done for the broadcast packet.

 

 

Mcastsupport

Used to specify whether the multicast is supported or not.

 

 

Mcastdrop

Used to specify whether the multicast packets are to be

 

dropped, or to be forwarded, if multicast is not supported.

 

This is only valid if dot1dTpMcastSupport is false.

 

 

NetAgingTimeout

The timeout period, in seconds, for aging out dynamically

 

learned forwarding information from NET side port. This is

 

used only for full bridge configuration. The recommended

 

value of net aging timeout should be greater than that of

 

dot1dTpAgingTimeOut.

 

 

Full Bridging Status

This specifies the current state of full bridging on the bridge.

 

Thebridge can be set to residential bridging, restricted full

 

bridging or unrestricted full bridging. In residential bridging, all

 

packets from a CPE side port are sent to Net side port without

 

doing a lookup in the forwarding table. In restricted full

 

bridging, there is a lookup and a packet coming from a CPE
