1-14 — Orbitor 3000 Reference Manual
A table is reserved for permanent address entries, separate from the table that is used for those non-permanent
entries that are subject to aging. These tables may be displayed and modified with the bridge/router options
discussed in this manual. Access is made locally from each Bridge/Router Console or one bridge/router can be
made Master, able to control all functions of a partner Orbitor Ethernet bridge/router.
Filled Address Table
Sometimes filter address table may become full. (The filter table can hold 2048 address entries.) A procedure is
automatically followed in this event.
This procedure defines that the address, if it does not exist in the table, will not be added, and will be treated as any other
unknown address. In this case the frame will be passed to the other segment. An alarm will also be generated with the
message “Station Address Table Full,” and from this point, another alarm will be generated only if in the meantime the
table empties by 1/3 and then fills up again.
