Bridge MAC learning & forwarding update - 3: adding interface module configuration handler

Added #logical-interface level #transparent #port #configuration #handler in ethernet module. This will enable the configuration changes from the #logical-interface to #phy #port. Operator can arbitrarily #enable / #disable the #MAC #learning & #forwarding on the #interface and new handler will apply the changes in ethernet module on to the #phy #port.

Bridge MAC learning & forwarding update - 2: adding HAL support

Added #HAL support in #bridge #transparent #port update handler in ethernet module. The new HAL calls will #enable #port #level #MAC #learning & #forwarding separately in #hardware #data-plane.

Bridge MAC learning & forwarding update - 1: correcting port level configuration handler

Correcting #bridge #port level #MAC #learning & #forwarding operations. Added changes in the #transparent #port #configuration #handler to keep HAL in sync with MAC learning & forwarding changes on the base port.

Bridge filtering database update - 10

Added optimizations for #filtering configuration of #multicast #MAC #addresses for #filtering-database s in ethernet module. This enables specify the set of ports to which frames received from specific ports and containing specific #multicast / #broadcast #destination #addresses are allowed to be forwarded. The port lists specifying the ports to which matching frames has shall be forwarded and ports to which frames shall be forbidden to be forwarded are sized according to the #dynamic max_number_of_ports parameter configuration. This will enable to dynamically set the size of #member #ports listing for each bridge VLAN. This removes the static allocation of max size of member port listing and reduces the memory requirement for the member port list.
