Bridging – Show MAC by Port Continued…
The ‗Active IP Probe‘ field is configurable using the ‗Modify‘ button, and also displays the existing
Enabled or Disabled status of this feature. The default is disabled. When disabled the switch generates no
Ethernet traffic
for this purpose, but can still present some information gathered passively.
The ‗IP‘ field shows an Auto-detected or manually entered IP address. If there is a MAC address for the port
and an IP address was not discovered there is an ‗Assign IP‘ button to allow the user to enter an IP address.
If ‗Active IP Probe‘ is enabled, manually entered IP values are underlined and validated. A validated IP for
that MAC is presented in green and if validation fails the IP will be red and underlined. Note that some
devices do not have an IP Address, and that some devices that do have an IP Address may not respond to the
methods used to detect their IP Address.
Invoking the ‗Assign IP‘ button on the example above, the administrator will be presented with a form in
which to enter a manually assigned IP, as below:
When an IP has been manually entered a button is provided to ‗Delete IP‘, and invoking it will allow the
administrator to delete the manual association of an IP to that MAC.
