Chapter 7
Bridge Commands
This chapter discusses the bridge subsystem. It allows you to configure and monitor the bridging,
configure MAC filters, port-based VLANs and tagged frame functions of the AES-100.
The AES-100 supports IEEE 802.1D transparent bridging; but not the static filtering feature or spanning tree
protocol. The bridge learns the source MAC addresses of sender hosts by inspecting incoming Ethernet frames and
recording the learned MAC addresses with their incoming port numbers into its filtering database. Based on the
database, the bridge forwards each incoming frame to its destination port.
7.1 Bridge Port Numbers
The bridge subsystem of the AES-100 defines its own numbering convention for ports.
The bridge has a total of nine ports: bridge port 1 stands for the Ethernet port, bridge port 2 stands for
ADSL port 1, bridge port 3 stands for ADSL port 2, and so on.
Be sure you have clarified the relation between bridge ports and ADSL ports.
7.2 Basic Commands
7.2.1 Config Save Command
Syntax:
192.168.1.1 bridge> config save
This command saves the bridge configuration into nonvolatile memory. You must use this command to save any
configurations that you make, otherwise the AES-100 will return to its default settings when it is restarted.
Do not turn off your AES-100 while saving your configuration.
7.2.2 Device Command
Syntax:
192.168.1.1 bridge> device
This command shows information on all bridge ports.
7.2.3 Status Command
Syntax:
192.168.1.1 bridge> status
This command displays the bridge status.
