6. Define or override a Bridge Aging Time between 0, 10-1,000,000 seconds.
The aging time defines the length of time an entry will remain in the a bridge’s forwarding table before
being deleted due to lack of activity. If an entry replenishments a destination generating continuous
traffic, this timeout value will never be invoked. However, if the destination becomes idle, the timeout
value represents the length of time that must be exceeded before an entry is deleted from the forwarding
table. The default setting is 300 seconds.
7. Use the + Add Row button to create a new row within the MAC address table.
8. Set or override a destination MAC Address address. The bridge reads the packet’s destination MAC
address and decides to forward the packet or drop (filter) it. If it’s determined the destination MAC is on
a different network, it forwards the packet to the segment. If the destination MAC is on the same network
segment, the packet is dropped (filtered).
9. Define or override the target VLAN ID if the destination MAC is on a different network segment.
10.Provide an Interface Name used as the target destination interface for the target MAC address.
11.Select OK to save the changes and overrides. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
