Figure 5-24 Switch Configuration Screen

The following describe each field of the Switch Configuration screen:

Switch Address (Read-Only)

Displays the base MAC address of the switch.

Number of Ports (Read-Only)

Displays the total number of switched ports on the module.

Type of STA (Selectable)

Allows the user to set the method that switches use to decide which switch is the controlling (Root) switch when two or more switches exist in parallel (Spanning Tree Algorithm). Valid entries include IEEE, DEC, and NONE. To set the STA, refer to Section 5.18.1.

Age Time (Modifiable)

Allows the user to set the amount of time (in seconds) the 6H122-08 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. To change the Age Time field from the default value of 300 seconds, refer to Section 5.18.2.
