By default, the network is enabled when it is created. Use the disable bridge
network <network name> command to disable the bridge network.
Use the delete bridge network <network name> command to delete a disabled
network.
By default the OfficeConnect Gateway is set up to route IP traffic. To bridge IP
traffic you must turn off IP Forwarding.
IP Forwarding refers to the routing of IP packets from one interface to another. It
does not affect communicating to the OfficeConnect Gateway itself. Even when IP
Forwarding is disabled, you can perform non-routing functions such as using a
Web browser to manage the OfficeConnect Gateway and using PING.
Use the show ip settings command to see the current IP Forwarding status.
Use the disable ip forwarding command to disable IP Forwarding.
The advanced bridging configuration options include Aging Time, Forward Delay,
Spanning Tree, and Spanning Tree Priority.
The show bridge command displays the settings for all bridge networks. Use the
set bridge command to modify these values.
Base Aging Time — Time to age out a known MAC address, default 300
Spanning Tree Forward Delay — Delay after coming up before learning,
default is 15
Spanning Tree Priority — This bridge's bid to be root bridge, default is
32768
Access MACs Only — This can be enabled or disabled.
Spanning Tree Mode — Sets spanning tree algorithm on. Default is
DISABLED
Base MAC Address — Address of the bridge
Number of Networks — Number of networks in this bridge
Type — Type of bridge: TRANSPARENT_ONLY is the default
Except for enabling Spanning Tree, most users do not need to change the
advanced parameters from their default settings.
The Aging Time is the time (in seconds) for aging out forwarding table
information. The range of Aging Time is between 10 and 1000000 seconds. Use
the set bridge aging_time <seconds> command to change the Aging Time.
