Chapter 6: Configuring SSR Bridging

CoreWatch User’s Guide
Configuring the Bridging Mode of Ports
You can configure ports to use either of the following bridging modes. Each port has a 
Layer-2 lookup table where MAC address or flows are stored. A port’s bridging mode 
determines the contents of each Layer-2 table entry. A port can use only one type of 
bridging at a time. 
Flow-based bridging
If a port is configured for flow-based bridging, each Layer-2 table entry contains 
entries consisting of a source MAC address, destination MAC address, and VLAN ID. 
Address-based bridging
If a port is configured for address-based bridging (the default), each Layer-2 table entry 
contains a unique destination MAC address and VLAN ID.
Suppose that a port on the SSR is connected to a hub that is connected to three 
workstations, A, B, and C. If each workstation is talking to one another and sending 
broadcast traffic, the Layer-2 table on the SSR’s port would contain the following entries 
for the workstations (assume that the VLAN ID is 1 for all entries):
