6.5 Learned MAC Table
Network bridges operate at the physical network layer. The purpose of a bridge is to
connect two or more networks and enable packet sharing between them. Bridges are
different from routers because they forward packets based on physical addresses,
whereas routers use IP address to forward packets. Bridges must learn all the physical
(MAC) addresses of the devices so it can forward the packets reliably. The purpose of the
Learned MAC Table is to store and display these bridge-recognized MAC addresses.
The Learned MAC Table page shows the current learned Bridge MAC table. This page
contains information that is dynamic and will refresh every 8 seconds.
Aging Timeout: It allows you to enter the update period for the MAC table.
Have this number lower if you want a more frequent refresh rate.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a management protocol that ensures that all
hosts in a particular network share the same information about routing paths.
The RIP Configuration page allows you to set the configuration for the system wide
