bridge acquire

[ no ] bridge { bridgeGroupName | vplsName } acquire
Syntax
Command introduced before JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.
Release Information
vplsName variable added in JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.
Configures a bridge group or VPLS instance to acquire dynamically learned MAC
Description
addresses. Issuing this command enables the router to forward any frames it receives
for nodes (stations) whose addresses it has learned dynamically. The no version
prevents the router or VPLS instance from acquiring dynamically learned MAC
addresses, and limits forwarding only to those nodes that have a statically configured
address entry in the forwarding table.
To configure the maximum number of MAC addresses that the router can learn, use
the bridge learn command (for a bridge group or VPLS instance) or the bridge-group
learn command (for a network interface associated with a bridge group or VPLS
instance).
