Bridge Commands
The commands described in this section are used to set the MAC address table
aging time and spanning tree parameters for both the Ethernet and wireless
interfaces.
bridge timeout
This command sets the aging time for both the Ethernet port and the wireless
interface.
Syntax
bridge timeout <interface-id> <seconds>
• interface-id - An identifier that specifies the interface. (0 for Ethernet, 2 for
802.11a wireless)
• seconds - The time to age out an address entry. (Range: 60-1800 seconds)
Default
Ethernet: 100
802.11a wireless: 1800
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
• If the MAC address of an entry in the address table is not seen on the
associated interface for longer than the aging time, the entry is discarded.
