Viewing Node Table Information 5-21
Total Entries:
Display Field. The total number of entries in the
filtering database. You can have
4953
entries (additional to the
permanent entries).
Starting Hash Value:
Text Field. The first value of the subset
you want to display. Enter a number from
0
to
511
. The default is
0
.
Ageing Timer:
Display Field. The number of seconds left in the
current ageing time interval. The ageing timer keeps the bridge's
forwarding database current. When the ageing timer reaches
zero, the bridge discards all table entries that were not verified
during the last ageing time interval. For an entry to be verified for
an address, the bridge must receive a frame from that address on
the port specified in the entry.
Hash:
Display Field. A subset of the individual hash values from
the forwarding database. The hash column starts with the
starting value specified in the STARTING HASH VALUE field.
Ether Addr:
Display Field. The Ethernet address that corresponds
to the value in the HASH field.
Port:
Display Field. The port that last received a packet from the
corresponding Ethernet address.
p
is appended to entries
containing the address of a port. perm identifies an address that
will never be discarded from the database, such as the address of
a bridge port.
v
identifies entries that have been made permanent
by a user, using the permanent database screens. After a port
number, a
+
or
-
is shown, indicating the ageing time status of
the port.
+
indicates that the packet with the corresponding source address
has arrived at the port during the current ageing time interval.
When the ageing time interval expires, this entry is set to
-
and
the address remains in the forwarding database.
