Switch Configuration Screen

The following describes each field of the Switch Configuration screen:

Switch Address (Read-Only)

Displays the MAC address of the switch.

Number of Ports (Read-Only)

Displays the total number of switched ports on the module. 

Type of STA (Selectable)

Allows the user to set the method that switches use to decide which 
switch is the controlling (Root) switch when two or more switches exist in 
parallel (Spanning Tree Algorithm). Valid entries include IEEE, DEC, 
and NONE. To set the STA, refer to Section 5.18.1.

Age Time (Modifiable)

Allows the user to set the amount of time (in seconds) the DLEHF-MA 
will keep an address in its switch table before discarding it. The modules 
will discard an address from their switch table if they do not receive a 
valid packet from the applicable address in the amount of time specified 
in the Age Time field. To change the Age Time field from the default 
value of 300 seconds, refer to Section 5.18.2.
