Configuring Bridge Features
This section provides procedures for configuring bridging features such as
filter aging and Spanning Tree Protocol. And, although a bridge does not
require an IP address, you will set up IP configuration for the unit so that you
can access it for management using SNMP, telnet, or FTP.
1 To configure the bridge, from the REX2 Configuration and Status screen
type
then press . The Bridge Configuration screen is displayed.
The bridge and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables are
dynamically built and can be accessed from this screen. See
“Viewing
the Bridge Table” on page 41 and “Viewing the ARP Table” on page 42
for more information.
2 To set the bridge filter age, type then press . Enter the filter age
time in seconds from 10 to 100000 (300 is the default) at the prompt:
Enter New Bridge Filter Age in Seconds : 1000
The bridge filter age indicates the time in seconds in which a MAC
address entry is eliminated from the bridging table if it is not relearned.
3 If you want to enable Spanning Tree Protocol, continue to “Configuring
Spanning Tree Protocol” on page 33 .
