Address Aging Timeout
Indicates the timeout period (in seconds) for aging out dynamically learned
forwarding information. The range is 10 to 600 (seconds). The default is
300 (seconds).
Broadcast Storm Recovery Mode
When you specify Enable for Broadcast Storm Recovery and the broadcast
traffic on any Ethernet port exceeds 20 percent of the link speed, the switch
blocks (discards) the broadcast traffic until the broadcast traffic returns to 10
percent or less.
When you specify Disable for Broadcast Recovery Mode, then the switch
will not block any broadcast traffic on any Ethernet port. The default is
Disable.
802.3x Flow Control Mode
Indicates if 802.3x flow control is enabled for the switch. The default is
Disable. This value applies to only full-duplex mode ports.
Self Learning IP Mode
Indicates that the self-learning IP mode is enabled or disabled. Disable is
the default.
Note: For the Self Learning IP function to work, the IP information must
include a default gateway for the network.
When you specify Enable, self-learning IP entries can be viewed on the
second panel (Page 2 of 2) of the Switch Detailed Statistics Menu (see
“Switch detailed statistics” on page 64).
Configuring ports
The switch is shipped from the factory with default port settings that allow it to
automatically determine the port type and speed.
See “Chapter 3. Configuring your switch” on page 25 for details about making and
saving configuration changes.
To configure the ports, select Device Configuration Menu from the Main Menu,
then select Port Configuration Menu from the Device Configuration Menu
(Figure 31 on page 49).
