ABSTRACT:
A bridge (EthOAM device) and method are described herein where the bridge implements the method and reduces a number of static entries (pre-defined multicast MAC addresses) which need to be configured within a database (e.g., forwarding database (FDB)) to support the flow of Ethernet OAM multicast frames such as, for example, Connectivity Check (CC) frames and Link Trace (LT) frames which are used in accordance with the IEEE 802.1ag standard.
