6. Define or override a Bridge Aging Time between 0, 10-1,000,000 seconds.
The aging time defines the interval an entry remains 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. Define or override a L3e Lite Entry Aging Time between 10-1,000,000 seconds.
The default setting is 300 seconds.
8. Use the + Add Row button to create a new row within the Static Forwarding Table.
9. Set or override a destination MAC 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).
10. Define or override the target VLAN ID if the destination MAC is on a different network segment.
11. Provide an Interface Name used as the target destination interface for the target MAC address.
12. Select OK to save the changes and overrides. Select Reset to revert to the last saved
configuration.
