Displaying the Bridging Database
Use the Bridging Database windows to display information about MAC addresses in the
bridging (or filtering) database. You can display information about permanent,
registered, reserved, static, dynamic, and VSD addresses, including:
Whether rate limiting is enabled for an address
Whether the address is a multicast address
The address entry type (dynamic, reserved, registered, and so on)
The last port on which the address was seen (dynamic, unicast static,
and unicast permanent addresses only)
The port on which the address was learned (dynamic, unicast static, and
unicast permanent addresses only)
The ports on which the address is allowed (permanent and static
addresses only)
The VSD to which an address belongs
Field Descriptions
MAC
Address |
MAC addresses in the bridging database. |
VSD |
VSD to which this address belongs. |
Type |
Permanent, registered, reserved, or static
addresses in a range. |
MC |
Multicast address. The value for this
field is yes if this address is a multicast address. If the address is a unicast
address, the value is no. |
Rate
Limit |
State of rate limiting. For multicast
addresses, rate limiting can be enabled or disabled. Rate limiting is not applicable
(N/A) for unicast addresses. Rate limiting sets the maximum number of packets per
second the module is to forward for a particular MAC address, or that are of a particular
protocol type. The default is 400 frames per second. |
Last
Seen Port |
Last port on which the address was seen (dynamic,
unicast static, and unicast permanent addresses only). |
Learned
Port |
Port on which the address was learned (dynamic, unicast
static, and unicast permanent addresses only). |
Allowed
Ports |
Ports on which the address is allowed (permanent and
static addresses only). |
