When the system software initializes in the manual mode, no bridge learning occurs. Instead, the
bridge will skip the learning phase and move directly to the forwarding phase. The system will
check to see if the incoming packet’s destination bridge address is on the configured list of
addressees. Thus, when a packet destined for one of the addresses in the list is received, it will be
bridged normally. Multicast frames are handled the same regardless of whether this feature is
enabled or not. Unicast frames destined for MAC addresses not configured manually will not be
bridged. Up to 63 destination MAC addresses can be configured in this mode.

When the system software initializes in the auto mode, the bridge will use its normal phases. Once
it reaches the forwarding phase, bridging will progress as if hardware filtering were not enabled.
As the bridge learns about remote MAC addresses, they are added to the MAC address list for
hardware filtering. Once either the time limit or the limit of number of addresses is reached, the
hardware filtering feature will be enabled. A message is then written to the log.

Note:
Bridge dial out calls can be initiated through the use of a Known Connect list or through
the use of bridge filters. For a description of bridge dial out through bridge filters, refer to
