Aging Configuration
◆
Disable Automatic Aging
–
Disables the automatic aging of dynamic entries. (Address
aging is enabled by default.)
◆
Aging Time
–
The time after which a learned entry is discarded.
(Range: 10-1000000 seconds; Default: 300 seconds)
MAC Table Learning
◆
Auto
–
Learning is done automatically as soon as a frame with an unknown source MAC
address is received. (This is the default.)
◆
Disable
–
No addresses are learned and stored in the MAC address table.
◆
Secure
–
Only static MAC address entries are used, all other frames are dropped.
Make sure that the link used for managing the switch is added to the Static MAC Table
before changing to secure learning mode. Otherwise the management link will be lost, and
can only be restored by using another non-secure port or by connecting to the switch via
the serial interface.
Note: If the learning mode for a given port in the MAC Learning Table is grayed out, another
software module is in control of the mode, so that it cannot be changed by the user. An
example of such a module is the MAC-Based Authentication under 802.1X.
Static MAC Table Configuration
◆
VLAN ID
–
VLAN Identifier. (Range: 1-4095)
◆
MAC Address
–
Physical address of a device mapped to a port.
A static address can be assigned to a specific port on this switch. Static addresses are bound
to the assigned port and will not be moved. When a static address is seen on another port,
the address will be ignored and will not be written to the address table.
◆
Port Members - Port identifier.
