5. filter
Syntax:
filter
Description:
This command shows the current contents of the bridge’s filter table.
The MAC entries for each device are shown in turn together with the
time that the MAC address was last seen by the bridge. The command
also shows the current filter ageing time, in seconds, and the number
of creation failures since the system was started. Creation failures
occur when there is no room left in the filter table for a new entry.
Example:
DSL bridge> filter
6. filterage
Syntax:
filterage [<age>]
Description:
This command sets, or displays if no arguments are given, the filter
table ageing time. The ageing time is the time after which MAC
addresses are removed from the filter table when there has been no
activity. The time is specified in seconds and may be any integer
value in the range 10…100,000 seconds. This value may also be
changed through SNMP. Changing the value of filterage has
immediate effect.
Configuration saving saves this information. By default the filter
ageing time is set to 300 seconds.
Example:
DSL bridge> filterage
6. flush
Syntax:
flush [<port>]
Description:
This command allows the MAC entries for a specified port, or all
ports, to be removed from the filter table. The port number for a
device may be determined using the
device list or status
commands. If the port number is omitted, all entries for all ports are
removed from the filter table.
Example:
DSL bridge> flush
