Static Path Form Help

To create the static path, click the  Create button.

Provision Static Path

Port Port selected.
Address Type If the static bridge type is set to:

MAC Address: the ifIndex, bridgeIfVlanId and staticBridgeMacOrIpAddress are used for the bridge path.

IP Address: the ifIndex, bridgeIfVlanId and staticBridgeMacOrIpAddress are used for the bridge path.

VLAN ID: the ifIndex and bridgeIfVlanId are used for the bridge path.

Global: the ifIndex is used for the bridge path.

DHCP Allow OUI: the first 3 bytes of the MAC address contains the OUI that allows DHCP addresses to be granted global scope.

DHCP IP: For dhcpIpAddr or dhcpMacAddr, the other fields are populated as for address types ipAddr and macAddr respectively, with the difference that these are secure entries, learned by snooping DHCP.

DHCP MAC: For dhcpIpAddr or dhcpMacAddr, the other fields are populated as for address types ipAddr and macAddr respectively, with the difference that these are secure entries, learned by snooping DHCP.

Intralink Address: the ifIndex and bridgeIfVlanId are used for the bridge path.

Global Intralink: the ifIndex is used for the bridge path.

MVR: the ifIndex is used for the bridge path.

VLAN ID The virtual LAN identifer for the IP interface. If the VLAN ID specified is non-zero, all traffic destined to this interface should be configured with this VLAN ID.
MAC/IP Address MAC Format = 2x:2x:2x:2x:2x:2x

IP Format = 1d.1d.1d.1d

S-Tag ID The s-tag value that is expected to be put on packets that are received on this interface.
Multicast Aging Multicast Aging period in tenths of seconds for the specified VLAN. After the specified aging period is met, the VLAN address is deleted from the routing table.

A value of 0 indicates that aging is turned off. Maximum value is 2147483647 tenths of seconds, which equates to approximately 2485.51 days.

Time Format = d-h:m:s

Unicast Aging Unicast aging period in tenths of seconds for the specified VLAN. After the specified aging period is met, the VLAN address is deleted from the routing table. A value of 0 indicates that aging is turned off. Maximum value is 2147483647 tenths of seconds, which equates to approximately 2485.51 days.

Interval in seconds

IGMP Query Interval How often (in seconds) the bridge injects IGMP query values into the stream. This value should be greater than 0. If you enter 0, the querying function is disabled.

IGMP Custom IP Address

Allow the configuration of the source IP address for packets that originate upstream when doing IGMP proxy on a bridge.

 

Flap Control

Enables or disables Flap Control in the Bridge Filter Table.

Values:

disable: turns Flap Control mode off.

enable or fast: turn flap control mode on. Enable applies a hold time of 60 seconds before allowing addr/IP to be moved to a new port, while fast applies a hold time of 0 seconds.

default: indicates 'Don't Care' and defaults to disabled or enable set by another entry.

Bridge Flags

ProcessJoinAndLeave: Enable or disable the system to send Join and Leave requests to the Multicast router.

RespondToQuery: Allow or not allow the system to send query reports to the Multicast router.

Loop Prevention

Bridge loop issue prevention can be configured on both asymmetrical and TLS bridges to resolve certain incorrect MAC address behaviors.

BlockAs: blocks a learning bridge if flap is detected between it and an uplink bridge.

BlockAll: incorporates blockAsym but it also blocks a learning bridge if it flaps against another learning bridge.
