Configure Bridge Clear
Configure Bridge Mode
configure bridge clear
Minimum Access Level: Administrator
The configure bridge clear command deletes learned entries from the bridge table. Static entries are
not affected.
Example:
PDYN# configure bridge clear
configure bridge mode {mux | switch | sms | uplink-tag}
Minimum Access Level: Administrator
The configure bridge mode command specifies the mode the bridge will operate in.
mux – Multiplexing forwarding mode. The system treats each DSL port as if it were a private network
connected to the uplink, and never forwards data on another DSL port.
sms – Subscriber Management System (SMS) mode. The system treats each DSL port as if it were a
private network connected to the uplink, and never forwards data on another DSL port. In addition, a
management Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is created on the uplink for use by the SMS.
switch – Switched mode. The system acts as a transparent learning bridge. This is the default.
uplink-tag – Uplink Tagging mode. Traffic from each DSL subscriber port is given a unique VLAN tag.
The system therefore treats each DSL port as if it were a private network connected to the uplink, and
never forwards data on another DSL port.
Example:
PDYN# configure bridge mode mux
Notes: mux In this mode all traffic is routed to the uplink port . Port to port switching is not allowed.
Unit performs a Proxy ARP function.
smsIn this mode all traffic is routed to the Ethernet uplink port. Port to port switching is not
allowed. When this mode is selected, an external management VLAN will be established to
the Subscriber Management System. In this mode Proxy ARP is disabled.
uplink-tag When this mode is selected all traffic is forwarded to the uplink port as in the mux
mode. In addition, all user traffic from the DSL subscriber ports will be have a VLAN tag.
Proxy ARP is enabled in this mode.
