That would certainly be handy. It doesn't seem that bridge can do this. Of course, the real solution is to invest in better switches, but in my case that's long-term. :) On 11/21/05, tony sarendal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I had a problem in my 3.7 openbsd bridges that they did not re-learn > mac-addresses while they still were in the table.

I'm using 3.7 as well, and I'm not seeing this problem. I set the mac-address table to flush every 20 seconds, instead of every two minutes (default), and it seemed to speed things up. Thanks for all the help! Ramsey
