Status
With this list box, you can restrict the display to addresses that have a particular status.
Possible values for the status are as follows:
●
learned (learned addresses)
●
static (configured by the user)
●
all (learned addresses and configured addresses)
Access Control List
Unicast filters can be used for access control. With the aid of the Access Control function (as
of firmware version 2.2 - the function was previously called Lock!) for individual ports (see
"Access Control Port Configuration menu item" or "the Port Status menu"), individual ports
can be locked for unknown nodes. If the Access Control function is enabled on a port,
packets arriving from unknown MAC addresses are discarded immediately.
Since ports with Access Control enabled cannot learn any MAC addresses, learned
addresses on these ports are automatically deleted after Access Control is enabled. To
include a device in the list of known nodes, a unicast entry must be created (on the relevant
port) for its MAC address.
To enter all connected nodes automatically, there is a function for automatic learning (see
section ACL Learning menu item).
Information in the filter table
The four columns of the filter table show the following information:
●
VID
The VLAN-ID assigned to this MAC address. If no VLAN-ID is assigned to a MAC
address, 1 is displayed here
●
MAC Address
The MAC address of the node that an IE switch has learned or the user has configured.
●
Status
Shows the status of each address entry. Here, learned means that the specified address
was learned as a result of receiving a frame from this node. The static entry means that
the address was entered statically by the user. Static addresses are stored permanently;
in other words, they are not deleted when the aging time expires or when the switch is
restarted. Invalid means that these value are not evaluated by the SCALANCE X408.
These values were entered via Web Based Management without a port number.
●
Port
Specifies the slot and port over which the node with the specified address can be
reached. Frames received by the IE switch whose destination address matches this
address will be forwarded to this port.
