Bridge/Address Table
The Express L768/L1.5 automatically maintains a table of MAC addresses de-
tected and associates those addresses with the LAN, WAN0, or WAN1 port
from which they were received. WAN 0 represents Bridge Group 1, and
WAN1 represents Bridge Group 2. This menu permits the user to adjust the
parameters or rules for the table as addresses are learned.
Address Table/Aging
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
This is the maximum time an idle MAC address remains in the table before be-
ing removed. The value is in minutes and can range from 0 (which means nev-
er age) to 65535. The default is 5.
Address Table/Forward Policy
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
When this parameter is set to
Unknown (def), any bridge packet with a desti-
nation MAC address that is not in the bridge table is forwarded to all other
ports. When set to
Known , the packet with the unknown destination MAC
address is dropped and is not forwarded.
