8.1.5 Disabling the specific packet distribution
To enable you to observe the data at all the ports, the Switch allows you to
disable the learning of addresses. When the learning of addresses is
disabled, the Switch transfers all the data from all ports to all ports.
V
Select the
Switching:Filter for MAC addresses
dialog.
In the filtering table each row represents one filter. Filters specify the
way in which data packets are sent. They are set automatically by the
Switch (learned status) or manually. Data packets whose destination
addresses are entered in the table are sent from the receiving port to the
ports marked in the table. Data packets whose destination addresses
are not in the table are sent from the receiving port to all other ports. In
the “Create static entry” dialog you can set up new filters. The following
status settings are possible:
D
learned
: the filter was created automatically by the Switch.
D
invalid
: with this status you delete a manually created filter.
D
permanent
: the filter is stored permanently in the Switch or on the
URL (see “Saving settings” on page 57 ).
D
gmrp
: the filter was created by GMRP.
D
gmrp/permanent:
GMRP added further port markings to the filter
after it was created by the administrator. The port markings added by
the GMRP are deleted by a restart.
D
igmp
: the filter was created by IGMP.
