Switch Settings

Figure7- 22. Switch Settings

Use the Switch Settings menu to change the following fields:

 

This field specifies the length of time a learned MAC

 

Address will remain in the forwarding table without

MAC Address Aging Time (sec):[300 ] *

being accessed (that is, how long a learned MAC

Address is allowed to remain idle). The Aging Time

 

 

can be set to any value between 10 and 1,000,000

 

seconds.

Switch 802.1x

This allows you to set 802.1x Port Based Network

Access for the whole Switch.

 

 

 

VDSL Rate Adaptive

This must be enabled if you use the Rate Adaptive

feature when you configure port settings.

 

 

 

Broadcast / Multicast Storm Mode

Select Enabled or Disabled to globally enable or

disable the Switch's reaction to Broadcast storms,

 

triggered at the threshold set below.

 

This is the number of Broadcast/Multicast packets in

Limited Threshold for Ports

Kbps received by the switch - on one of the base ports

- that will trigger the switch's reaction to a

 

 

Broadcast/Multicast storm.

*Note: A very long Aging Time can result with the out-of-date Dynamic Entries that may cause incorrect packet filtering/forwarding decisions. A very short aging time may cause entries to be aged out to soon, resulting in a high percentage of received packets whose source addresses cannot be found in the address table.
