Administering Port Addresses 11-13
Flushing All
Addresses
You can flush all static and dynamic MAC addresses from the selected
port(s). Static MAC addresses are those that you specified using the add
menu option. Dynamic MAC addresses are those that were automatically
learned by the bridge.
To flush all addresses:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
bridge port address flushAll
You are prompted for the port type.
2 Enter
Ethernet, FDDI, or all.
You are prompted for the port number(s).
3 Enter the number(s) of the port(s) or
all.
All addresses are flushed from the ports you specified.
Flushing Dynamic
Addresses
You can flush all dynamic (automatically learned) addresses from the
selected port(s).
To flush dynamic addresses:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
bridge port address flushDynamic
You are prompted for the port type.
2 Enter
Ethernet, FDDI, or all.
You are prompted for the port number(s).
3 Enter the number(s) of the port(s) or
all.
The addresses are flushed from the address table.
Freezing Dynamic
Addresses
You can convert all the dynamic addresses associated with the selected
port(s) into static addresses. This conversion is called “freezing” the
addresses. Freezing dynamic addresses is a way to improve your network
security.
