You can clear both Learned and Secure addresses (and re-start the learning process) by using the Reset Learned Addresses option in the repeater-, hub-, or port-level Security window; see Resetting Learned Addresses, page 6-10.

Resetting Learned Addresses

You can clear all learned and secured addresses out of a port’s address table, and allow that port to begin learning (and securing) new addresses, as follows:

1.In the Repeater Security window, click mouse button 1 on the repeater interface for which you would like to reset learned addresses.

2.Click mouse button 1 on 6-10, Manual background, or Manual background to open the appropriate window.

3.In the Module or Port window, click to select the hub(s) or port(s) for which you wish to reset learned addresses.

NOTE

You cannot reset learned addresses for any port which is already locked or in an unsecurable state (either natural or forced). If you select a group of ports which includes one in a locked or unsecurable state, or if you select a hub or a repeater which has a port in one of these states, the Reset Learned Addresses option will be unavailable.
