Per Port MAC Limit
You can configure the MAC address learning function of each port to:
Limited Learning
– set a number to limit the PCs that can share this connection at the same time.
Unlimited Learning
– remove the PC connecting number limit. The PC connecting number on the
port will become no limit. This is the normal state for a switch.
No Learning
– Disable the MAC learning function. The MAC addresses that can connect to this port
will be assigned from the
Static Filtering
function. This function allows the network administrator to
limit the users that can access the network through the connected ports.
Note:
If you select
Learning Limit
on the connection port and also assign MAC addresses on the port in the
MAC Address In-Filters
of
Static Filtering
function (this option is on the
Advanced Management Menu
),
these MAC addresses will always be allowed to use this connection. These MAC addresses are not included in
the limit number of PC.

The IP and its subnet setting of the switch are assigned based on VLAN. This switch allows users to
assign different IP subnets on different VLANs. The RIP operation of the switch is for internal routing between
the IP subnet assigned on different VLANs. It is not a real L3 switch routing operation. For normal cases,
assigning the switch’s IP address on the default VLAN for remote management is OK.
