Learning IVL bridge The learning process inserts a new dynamic entry into the MAC table This entry consists of a MAC VID pair and bridge port e If the MAC VID pair already exists for the same port the aging time is updated e If the MAC VID pair already exists but for a different bridge port dynamic entry the new entry overrides the existing one e If the MAC VID pair already exists for a different bridge port static entry the static entry prevails Aging Process The aging process checks the forwarding MAC table periodically Each dynamic entry aging period that has exceeded the configured Aging Time Limit is deleted The aging period represents the time passed since the last frame for this entry entered the bridge The periodic check of the MAC table aging time intervals results in the actual aging time that can reach up to twice the value that was configured by the user Forwarding Process The forwarding process is performed based on the frame destination MAC VID pair The frame is forwarded to the bridge port that was specified in the MAC table for this MAC VID pair entry Untagged frames are forwarded according to the PVID that was attached to that frame during the ingress process Frames are forwarded dropped or flooded according to the following guidelines e Forwarded If the bridge port of the pair entry DA VID in the MAC table is both an active bridge port and a member of the VLAN the frame is forward
