MAC Address
Configuration
Set the aging time (in seconds) for the MAC address table.
Select the Auto Flush checkbox if you want the MAC address table to be erased if
the port link fails.
Security
Enable or disable secure learning mode. When enabled, only static MAC addresses
are learned; all other frames are dropped.
NOTE Before enabling security, make sure that the link used for managing
the switch is added to the Static MAC Table otherwise the management link
will be lost and can only be restored by using another non-secure port or by
connecting to the switch via the serial interface.
Apply

6.5.9 VLAN
A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network group that limits the broadcast domain and allows you to isolate network
traffic so that members of the same VLAN only receive traffic from each other. Creating a VLAN on a switch is the
logical equivalent of reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the network
devices are still physically plugged into the same switch.
VLAN Configuration
To configure VLAN, choose
Configure
-->
VLAN
-->
VLAN Configuration
. The 5073E-T Switch supports two VLAN
modes—802.1Q (tagged-based) VLAN, and port-based VLAN. These modes are described on the following pages.
By default, VLAN operation is disabled.
