FCS

Is part of the RFC 1483 Encapsulation method and indicates

whether the last four bytes of the MAC frames (Medium Access

Control frames, commonly referred to as Ethernet or IEEE 802.3

frames), will be preserved or not.
By default the FCS of MAC frames to be bridged, will not be

preserved.

"

State

This field allows you to change the state of the individual LAN

ports. The following possibilities are available:

D

forwarding :Traffic can flow through this port.

D

disabled : No traffic can flow through this port.

D

learning : The port is in learning state.

Note

By default only one Bridge port (Br1) is in forwarding state. The 3

other Bridge ports (Br2, Br3 and Br4) are set 'Disabled'.
Deleting bridge ports might be useful if you want to use more than

the 8 PPP/PPTP ATM connections currently available.

Further a box containing the Aging timer of the bridge internal

database is on this page. If the aging time of a MAC entry has

expired, this entry will be removed from the database.

The default value of 300s (5 minutes) needs only to be modified in

exceptional cases. The permitted range is from 10 seconds to 12

days which is compliant with the IEEE 802.1D bridging standard.
