MAC Table Configuration
The MAC Address Table is configured on this page. Set timeouts for entries in the dynamic MAC Table and
configure the static MAC table here.
Aging Configuration
By default, dynamic entries are removed from the MAC after 300 seconds. This removal is also called aging.
Configure aging time by entering a value in seconds. The allowed range is 10 to 1000000 seconds. Disable
the automatic aging of dynamic entries by checking the Disable Automatic Aging box.
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 IEEE 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
MAC 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.
