Viewing transparent bridge information

Use this procedure to display information about learned forwarding entries discards and to configure the aging time.

Procedure steps

  2. From the Edit tree, click Bridge.

  3. Select the Transparent tab.

  4. Click Apply if the AgingTime field is modified.

The following table outlines the parameters for the Transparent tab.

Table 1. Variable definitions
Variable Value
LearnedEntryDiscards Indicates the number of Forwarding Database entries learned that have been discarded due to insufficient space in the Forwarding Database. If this counter increases, it indicates that the Forwarding Database is becoming full regularly. This condition affects the performance of the subnetwork. If the counter has a significant value and is not presently increasing, it indicates that the problem has occurred but is not persistent.
AgingTime Indicates the time-out period in seconds for aging out dynamically learned forwarding information.
NoteNote

The 802.1D-1990 specification recommends a default of 300 seconds.
