Location—The card type, slot number, and port number.
Age—The age of the station address entry in the List Forwarding Table. You can
set this parameter to Permanent or a specified number of seconds. The system
uses the Age parameter to delete station address entries when they have had no
traffic for the specified period of time.

Constructing the Bridge Static Table

The Bridge Static Table is a list of destination MAC addresses that you want to
maintain in the List Forwarding Table and do not want to be purged by the aging
timer. The Disp. column for these addresses in the Forwarding Table reads Static to
indicate that they will remain in the Forwarding Table until they are manually
deleted from the Static Table.
To construct the Bridge Static Table, follow these steps:
1 From the Bridge menu, select [6] Static Table to display the Bridge Static Table
menu, shown in Figure 116. From this menu, you can view the Static table and
add and delete entries from it.

displays the following prompt:
Enter MAC Address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX or <CR>):
3 Enter the destination MAC address that you want to add to the Bridge Static
Table. This address will not be purged when the List Forwarding Table is aged. The
following prompt appears:
Attach MAC address to an existing VCC? (y/n [n]):
4 Enter [y] or [n].
If you enter [y] a screen appears with a list of existing virtual circuits. Enter the
number corresponding to the virtual circuit to which you want to attach the
destination MAC address.
