In addition, a summary table displays information about the Forwarding
Database (Bridging Info) and the Associated RB Database (Association Info).
Each database includes the following information:
» The current number of entries. For Bridging Info this includes the Et
(Ethernet) and the Vp (Virtual ports) entries. For Association Info this is
the number of the currently associated RBs (0 or 1).
» The aging time specified for entries in these tables. The aging time for
Bridging Info is as specified by the Bridge Aging Time parameter. The
default is 300 seconds. There is no aging time for Association Info entries.
» The maximum number of entries permitted for these tables, which is 4093
(4096 minus the number of special Sp addresses as defined above) for
Bridging Info, and 1 for Association Info.
 Display Association Info: Displays information regarding the RB associated
with the BU. The entry includes the following information:
» The MAC Address of the associated RB
» Age in seconds, indicating the elapsed time since receiving the last packet
from the RB.
» The value configured for the Maximum Modulation Level parameter of the
RB
» The Status of the RB. There are three options:
1 Associated
2 Authenticated
NOTE
There is no aging algorithm for the associated RB. An RB is only removed from the Association
Database under the following conditions:
 The RB failed to respond to 100 consecutive data frames transmitted by the BU and is
considered to have "aged out".
 During the last 6 minutes (or more) the RB did not transmit any data frame, and failed to
respond to certain frames that typically are transmitted by the BU every 10 seconds. Since the
sampling interval for this state is about 10 minutes, it means that the decision to remove the RB
from the Associations Database will take place between 6 to 16 minutes from the time the RB
ceased sending data or responding to these "keep-alive" messages.
