120 CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURING PATHBUILDER S330/S310 MODULES, PORTS, AND APPLICATIONS Age-The age of the station address entry in the List Forwarding Table: Permanent (indicating that the entry is on the Bridge Static Table) or a specified number of seconds. To specify the age, change the Aging Timer setting on the Bridge Configuration menu. See "Configuring the Bridge" earlier in this chapter, for details. The system uses the Age parameter to delete station address entries when they have had no traffic for the specified period of time. Constructing the Bridge Static Table The Bridge Static Table is a list of destination MAC addresses that you want to maintain in the List Forwarding Table and do not want to be purged by the aging timer. The Disp. column for these addresses in the Forwarding Table reads L-Static to indicate that they will remain in the Forwarding Table until they are manually deleted from the Static Table. To construct the Bridge Static Table, follow these steps: 1 From the Bridge menu, select [6] Static Table to display the Bridge Static Table menu, shown inFigure 92. From this menu, you can view the Static table and add and delete entries from it. Figure 92 Bridge Static Table Menu 2 Select [2] Add MAC Address. The Add MAC address screen appears. This screen displays the following prompt: Enter MAC Address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX or ): 3 Enter the destination MAC address that you want to add to the Bridge Static Table. This address will not be purged when the List Forwarding Table is aged, and the Age column on the List Forwarding Table will display Permanent for this entry. 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3, as desired, to add more addresses to the Bridge Static Table. n To view the current Bridge Static Table, select [1] List Static Table from the Bridge Static Table menu. n To delete an address from the table, select [3] Delete MAC Address from Bridge Static Table menu and enter the number corresponding to the address you want to delete. Then enter y at the confirmation prompt to delete the selected address from the Bridge Static Table.

Age

—The age of the station address entry in the List Forwarding Table:

Permanent

(indicating that the entry is on the Bridge Static Table) or a speciﬁed

number of seconds. To specify the age, change the Aging Timer setting on the

Bridge Conﬁguration menu. See “Conﬁguring the Bridge” earlier in this chapter,

for details. The system uses the Age parameter to delete station address entries

when they have had no trafﬁc for the speciﬁed period of time.

Constructing the Bridge Static Table

The Bridge Static Table is a list of destination MAC addresses that you want to

maintain in the List Forwarding Table and do not want to be purged by the aging

timer. The

Disp.

column for these addresses in the Forwarding Table reads

L-Static

to indicate that they will remain in the Forwarding Table until they are manually

deleted from the Static Table.

To construct the Bridge Static Table, follow these steps:

From the Bridge menu, select

[6] Static Table

to display the Bridge Static Table

menu, shown inFigure 92. From this menu, you can view the Static table and add

and delete entries from it.

Figure 92

Bridge Static Table Menu

Select

[2] Add MAC Address

. The Add MAC address screen appears. This screen

displays the following prompt:

Enter MAC Address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX or <CR>):

Enter the destination MAC address that you want to add to the Bridge Static

Table. This address will not be purged when the List Forwarding Table is aged, and

the

Age

column on the List Forwarding Table will display

Permanent

for this entry.

Repeat steps 2 and 3, as desired, to add more addresses to the Bridge Static Table.

To view the current Bridge Static Table, select

[1] List Static Table

from the

Bridge Static Table menu.

To delete an address from the table, select

[3] Delete MAC Address

from Bridge

Static Table menu and enter the number corresponding to the address you

want to delete. Then enter

at the conﬁrmation prompt to delete the selected

address from the Bridge Static Table.
