Configuring Bridge Features

This section provides procedures for configuring bridging features such as
filter aging and Spanning Tree Protocol. And, although a bridge does not
require an IP address, you will set up IP configuration for the unit so that you
can access it for management using SNMP, telnet, or FTP.

1

To configure the bridge, from the REX2 Configuration and Status screen
type

then press

. The Bridge Configuration screen is displayed.

The bridge and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables are
dynamically built and can be accessed from this screen. See

“Viewing

the Bridge Table” on page 41

and

“Viewing the ARP Table” on page 42

for more information.

2

To set the bridge filter age, type

then press

. Enter the filter age

time in seconds from 10 to 100000 (300 is the default) at the prompt:

Enter New Bridge Filter Age in Seconds : 1000

The bridge filter age indicates the time in seconds in which a MAC
address entry is eliminated from the bridging table if it is not relearned.

3

If you want to enable Spanning Tree Protocol, continue to

“Configuring

Spanning Tree Protocol” on page 33
