MAC Table Learning
If the learning mode for a given port is grayed out, another 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.
Each port can do learning based upon the following settings:
Label
Description
Auto
Learning is done automatically as soon as a frame with unknown SMAC is received.
Disable
No learning is done.
Secure
Only static MAC entries are learned, all other frames are dropped.
Note: 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 is lost
and can only be restored by using another non-secure port or by connecting to the
switch via the serial interface.
