Ageing
– define the Ethernet (MAC) address ageing time, in seconds [0-65535]. The ageing time is
the number of seconds a MAC address will be kept in the forwarding database after having received a
packet from this MAC address. The entries in the forwarding database are periodically timed out to
ensure they won't stay around forever
.
Default value is 0.
Garbage
– specify the interval in seconds between garbage collector runs [0-65535]. Garbage
collector periodically checks MAC table for timed out entries and removes them from the table. Default
value is 0.
STP
–define the STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) status [enabled/disabled].
Priority
– define the bridge’s priority [high,medium,low]. Default value is low
.
Delay
– specify the bridges’ forward delay time in seconds [0-65535]. Delay is the time spent in each
of the Listening and Learning states before the Forwarding state is entered
.
Default value is 0
.
Hello Time
– specify the interval between hello packets in seconds [0-65535].
Hello packets are used
to communicate information about the topology throughout the entire Bridged LAN
.
Default value is 0.
Max. Age
– specify the maximum bridge message age in seconds [0-65535]. If the last received hello
packet is more than this value, the bridge in question will initiate the Root Bridge election procedure.
Default value is 0.
Click
continue
button to finish the parameters setting and click
new
button if needs new interfaces
adding into bridge.
figure – 74 bridge setting
Click new button to add interfaces into bridge and specify the bridge ports (interfaces):
figure – 75 add interface
Port (interface)
– select the interface name to be bound into bridge .
Cost
– specify the port’s path cost on this interface. This value is used in the designated port and root
port selection algorithms. Default value is low.
Priority
– specify the priority of ports with equal cost. You can use this to control which port gets used
when there are redundant paths.
If you want to remove interface from bridge click delete button. e.g remove ixp0 from bridge.
Click delete button on the ixp0 column.
