Using the Console Interface
Figure 6-19. Configure Filtering and Forwarding table screen
The following fields at the top of the screen can be set:
? ?
Lock Address Table(STOPs Learning)
Mostly used for
security purposes, when the forwarding table is locked the Switch
will no longer learn the MAC addresses for new hosts. If your
network configuration doesn’t change, locking the forwarding
table helps keep intruders off your network since any packet
coming from an unknown source address will be dropped by the
Switch.
? ?
Address Table Lookup Mode
This setting allows the user to
tailor the MAC address look up procedure. Choices are
Level 0,
Level 1
,
Level 2
,
Level 3
,
Level 4
,
Level 5
,
Level, 6, Level 7.
The
higher the level, the more MAC addresses can be learned by the
Switch. However, a side effect is that throughput will be degraded
the higher the level you select. This setting will take effect after
your system reboots.
? ?
MAC Address Aging
Enter the desired MAC address age-out
time in this field (10 to 9999 seconds).
