5. Define a Bridge Aging Time from 0, 10-1,000,000 seconds.
The aging time defines the length of time an entry will remain in the bridge’s forwarding table
before it is 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.
6. Use the + Add Row button to create a new row within the MAC address table.
7. Set 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).
8. Define the target VLAN ID if the destination MAC is on a different network segment.
9. Provide an Interface Name used as the target destination interface for the target MAC address.
