Switch Configuration Screen Fields
The following information briefly explains each Switch Configuration Screen
field.
Switch Address (Read-only)
This field displays the base MAC address of the switch.
Number of Ports (Read-only)
This field displays the total number of switched ports on the module. Depending
on the optional interface, there can be many virtual WAN or ATM ports that will
display on this screen.
Type of STA (Toggle)
This field allows a user to set the method that bridges use to decide which bridge
is the controlling (Root) bridge when two or more bridges exist in parallel
(Spanning Tree Algorithm). Press the Space Bar to toggle to the desired value.
Valid types are:
• DEC
• IEEE

Numbers of Ports (Read-only)
This field displays the number of ports on the module.
Age Time (Selectable)
This field allows the user to set the amount of time (in seconds) the module will
keep an address in its switch table before discarding it. The module will discard
an address from its switch table if it does not receive a valid packet from the
applicable address in the amount of time specified in the Age Time field. The
default
is 300.
Port # (Read-Only)
This field lists each bridge port on the module. If the number of ports is greater than eight,
then the additional ports are listed on subsequent screens.
The last six ports in the Port # field are defined as virtual interfaces until SmartTrunking
trunk Groups are configured. They are initially displayed as disabled and without a MAC
Address. For more information on SmartTrunking, please refer to the SmartTrunking Users
Guide.
MAC Address (Read-only)
This field displays the hardware address of each listed interface.
