MAC Address – The physical layer address of the wireless bridge unit at the other
end of the wireless link. (12 hexadecimal digits in the form “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx”)
Port Status – Enables or disables the wireless bridge link.
Note:
The wireless MAC address for each bridge unit is printed on the label on the
back of the unit.
CLI Commands for WDS – The following example shows how to configure the MAC
address of the wireless bridge at the opposite end of a point-to-point link, and then
enable forwarding on the link.
Bridge
The wireless bridge can store the MAC addresses for all known devices in the
connected networks. All the addresses are learned by monitoring traffic received by
the wireless bridge and are stored in a dynamic MAC address table. This information
is then used to forward traffic directly between the Ethernet port and the wireless
interface.
The Bridging page allows the MAC address aging time to be set for both the
Ethernet port and the bridge radio interface. If the MAC address of an entry in the
address table is not seen on the associated interface for longer than the aging time,
the entry is discarded.
