BRIDGE Bridge command reference

iMG/RG Software Reference Manual (Switching)

2-74

want to forward packets to several ports, enter a bridge set interface portfilter <port>

command for each port. If you want to forward packets to all ports, enter the command

and specify the all value.

If a unicast packet is received by an interface with a portfilter set to all, the portfilter rule

is ignored. The unicast packet is still only sent to one port. If the bridge itself is attached

to the router, the bridge itself will always forward to all ports and will always be for-

warded to by all ports. Port Filter is not restored by the system config save command. If

the LAN to LAN forwarding is disabled, then no packet received on a lan side bridge

interface will be bridged to any other lan side bridge interface irrespective of the portfil-

ter. If the WAN to WAN forwarding is disabled, then no packet received on a wan side

bridge interface will be bridged to any other wan side bridge interface irrespective of the

portfilter.

Options The following table gives the range of values for each option that can be specified with

this command and a default value (if applicable).
