Configuring the Bridge
All of the virtual channels assigned to a particular slot and port form a network
bridge. In order to enable the Ethernet port to operate, you must configure the
bridge with the required user-filtering options and an aging timer value.
The aging timer value you specify will be listed in the Age column on the List
Forwarding Table. The system deletes station address entries when they have had
no traffic for the specified period of time. To keep addresses in the List Forwarding
table permanently, set the Aging Timer to Permanent. For further details about the
List Forwarding Table, see “Viewing the List Forwarding Table” later in this chapter.
To configure the bridge, follow these steps:
