Setup/Bridge-module
This menu allows you to select the settings necessary for bridge mode. The menu has
the following layout:
Operating
This option allows you to activate or deactivate the bridge. In the default configuration,
the bridge is activated.
If the device is used just as an IP router connection, the bridge should be deactivated.
Bridge table
This option allows you to display the entries in the current bridge table. The table is
automatically created and managed by means of a hash procedure. It comprises max.
512 entries.
Entries in the bridge table may appear as shown below when the bridge has acquired
local and remote MAC addresses over time:
The last access time to occur since the system was switched on is stored as a multiple
of 9 ms (tics). The forward flag reflects the location of the MAC address. An entry in the
form 00a057XXXXXX is the unique MAC address of the device.
The 'forward flag' column is output for remote configuration only. This column is not
included in the display.
Broadcast

always (
pos
= default), never (

sem

Multicast
