The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table
represents the number of the packets dropped by the
firewall system in the network
Possible loop
A switching or bridging loop occurs in a network when
there is more than one Layer 2 path between two
endpoints
Because a physical topology that contains switching or
bridging loops is needed for the redundancy reasons, the
solution is to allow physical loops, but create a loop-free
logical topology using the spanning tree protocol (STP)
on the network switches
The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table
represents the number of the packets dropped because
they belong to a possible loop (more than one port
declares same packet source)
Discard
The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table
represents the number of the packets dropped by the
configuration (e.g. "switch group N start [discard]")
MAC Limit
MAC address-table limit reached (switch maxsources
(MAXSOURCES|0) # default 5000)
The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table
represents the number of the packets dropped because
the limit of MAC address-table was reached
Reverse
The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table
represents the number of the packets dropped because
they have the same source and destination port (the
frame came to the unit through one port and according to
the switching table it must leave through the same port)
