5-24 Filtering Database
The following fields are listed in the top portion of the Filtering Database
window:
List
The List checkboxes indicate whether the associated entry type (Permanent,
Static, Dynamic, or Learned) will be displayed in the scrollable table of address
entries. A check next to the entry type indicates that it will be displayed.
Type
Indicates the type of entry in the database.
Number
Displays the current number of Permanent, Static, Dynamic, and Learned
Address entries.
Capacity
Indicates the total capacity of each entry type in the Static and Learned databases.
Ageing Time
Indicates the length of time, in seconds, that Dynamic and Learned Addresses in
the Source Address Table are allowed to remain inactive before they are dropped
from the database. The allowable time range for these entries is 10 to 1,000,000
seconds. Ageing time is not applicable to Static or Permanent entries. You can
configure this field, as described in the next section.
The following fields are applicable to the scrollable Address Entry panel of
Filtering Database entries.
Address
Lists the addresses for which the bridge’s Filtering Database has forwarding
and/or filtering information.
Type
Indicates the type of an entry in the database. The possible types are Static,
Dynamic, Learned, Self, or Permanent. You can alter the entry type, as described
in the next section.
Source Port
Indicates the port number on which the address entry was first detected. A
question mark (?) indicates that the address entry was not a learned entry, but
Port Filtering information applies to it (i.e., the entry is a created Permanent,
Dynamic, or Static entry and has corresponding filtering information).
