BreezeMAX Extreme 158 System Manual
4.6.3.2.2.4 Add to list
Select this option to add a MAC addresses range to the list. Each entry comprises
a Prefix (base) address in the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, a Prefix Mask in the same
format (in binary format a mask must be comprised of a series of 1’s followed by a
series of 0’s), an Allow/Deny rule, and Priority (a unique number in the range
from 1 to 255 defining the order of searching for a match).
4.6.3.3 Default Access
Select this option to configure the Default Access rule, defining how to handle
packets with a source address that is not included in any of the lists.
The options are All and Deny. The default is Allow.
4.6.3.4 Maximum MAC addresses learned
Select this option to manage the bridge database in the device. When the
Maximum MAC addresses learned parameter is set to 0 (the default), the ASN-GW
learns the source MAC address of all packets arriving on the R1 interface. The
aging timeout for entries in the bridge table is 10 minutes. If the table is full (1024
different entries), a newly learned MAC address will replace the oldest entry in the
database. A packet arriving from the network side with a destination MAC address
that is not included in the bridge database will be discarded, unless the Unknown
Known Address Mode parameter of the Forwarding Rule being used is set to
Forward. A MAC address that according to the lists should be denied will not be
learned.
If the Maximum MAC addresses learned is set to a value other than 0, the
maximum number of entries in the bridge database is limited to the configured
value. In this case when the table is full additional MAC addresses cannot be
learned until a MAC address is removed from the table by the aging mechanism. A
packet arriving on the R1 interface with a source MAC address that is not
included in the bridge database will be discarded.
The range is from 0 to 1024. The default is 0 (no limit up to the maximum of
1024).
