Address Filters: MAC Address
Root Port Priority
The Root Port Priority parameter sets the initial priority value assumed by the Root
Port. The default value is 128.
Set Port Priority
The Set Port Priority parameter sets the prioritization of each enabled port. A lower
numerical value for the port priority makes the port more likely to become the desig-
nated port. Port Number 1 corresponds to the wired interface; Port Numbers 2 to
7 correspond to WDSLinks 1 to 6. To set the priority, enter the port number in the
textbox and then press the “Configure” button. Then enter the priority number for
that port in the textbox.
Valid values range from 0 to 255. The default value is 128.
4.4.2 Address Filters: MAC Address
The 9150 can use a list of destination MAC addresses to filter out frames. The MAC
addresses are those of any terminals associating with the 9150. If Address Filters
Enabled on page 77 is checked (
√ ) and Address Filters Default Action (page 77) is
set to discard, then any frame destined for any address in the list will be forwarded.
If Address Filters Default Action is set to forward, then those frames will be dis-
carded. Addresses are added to the filter list by entering the “Configure” dialogue
box from the Bridge Parameters menu.
