the bridge will start functioning normally
garbage-collection-interval ( time ; default: 4s ) - how often to drop old (expired) host entries in
the bridge database. The garbage collection process expurges the entries older than defined by the
ageing-time property
hello-time ( time ; default: 2s ) - how often send hello packets to other bridges
mac-address ( read-only: MAC address ) - MAC address for the interface
max-message-age ( time ; default: 20s ) - how long to remember Hello messages received from
other bridges
mtu ( integer ; default: 1500 ) - Maximum Transmission Unit
name ( name ; default: bridgeN ) - a descriptive name of the bridge interface
priority ( integer : 0 ..65535 ; default: 32768 ) - bridge interface priority. The priority argument is
used by Spanning Tree Protocol to determine, which port remains enabled if at least two ports form
a loop
stp ( no | yes ; default: no ) - whether to enable the Spanning Tree Protocol. Bridging loops will
only be prevented if this property is turned on
Example
To add and enable a bridge interface that will forward all the protocols:
[admin@MikroTik] interface bridge> add; print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name="bridge1" mtu=1500 arp=enabled mac-address=61:64:64:72:65:73 stp=no
priority=32768 ageing-time=5m forward-delay=15s
garbage-collection-interval=4s hello-time=2s max-message-age=20s
[admin@MikroTik] interface bridge> enable 0
Port Settings
Home menu level: /interface bridge port

Property Description
bridge ( name ; default: none ) - the bridge interface the respective interface is grouped in
• none - the interface is not grouped in any bridge
interface ( read-only: name ) - interface name, which is to be included in a bridge
path-cost ( integer : 0 ..65535 ; default: 10 ) - path cost to the interface, used by STP to determine
the 'best' path
priority ( integer : 0 ..255 ; default: 128 ) - interface priority compared to other interfaces, which
