Configuring Bridging Services
4-18 114060 Rev. A
Parameter: Max Translation Entries
Default: 255
Options: Any integer value
Function: Specifies the maximum number of source routing addresses with routing
information that the translation bridge can store in its RIF table. Ideally,
this number should be equal to or greater than the number of stations on
the source routed network that will communicate with stations on the
transparently bridged network. If there is not enough room in the RIF
table, the translation bridge does not store routing information for some
stations. When the translation bridge receives traffic for those stations, it
forwards the traffic as explorer frames.
However, the more entries allowed in the RIF table, the more memory the
translation bridges may consume.
For each RIF that the translation bridge stores in the RIF table, the router
creates an entry in the transparent bridge forwarding table. Increase the
maximum transparent bridge forwarding table size by this value to
account for addresses learned from the source route network.
Instructions: Enter the number of addresses that the translation bridge can store in its
RIF table.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.1.1.2.11.4
Parameter: Aging Value
Default: 300 seconds
Options: Any integer value
Function: Specifies how long an address entry remains in the forwarding and RIF
tables when no data from that address has been received.
The larger you make this value, the more time it takes the bridge to adjust
to changes in the network.
The smaller you make this value, the more processing the translation
bridge must perform to delete and then relist infrequently used addresses.
Instructions: Specify the number of seconds that inactive addresses should be retained.
