•All Packets - This rate limit will be applied to all packets.

•Flooded - This rate limit will be applied to Flooded unicast and Multicast and Broadcast packets.

•Multicast - This rate limit will be applied to Multicast and Broadcast packets.

•Ingress Rate - This setting allows you to choose the input data rate for a port. Packets exceeding this rate will be dropped.

•Egress Rate - This setting let user choose the output data rate for a port. Packets exceeding this rate will be dropped.

•Flow Control - When this feature is enabled, the wired LAN ports will exchange control packets with the connected port before sending packets. If the other end is not able to process more packets , our sending port will hold the packets. The mechanism will ensure that packets will not be lost on the wire. But it can still cause congestion in other part of the network, so please use this with caution.

Switch Table

Use this screen to configure the switch address table settings for the managed switch feature, and to add or delete static address table entries. Global ATU Setting is a global switch address table setting. Address Learning is used to determine if the switch should automatically learn the mac address for the packets; the default is enabled. Age Timer is is used to determine the idle time out of each address entry.

•New Address Entry -Mac Address is the destination mac address. Output Port Vector is the output ports where the packet should be routed to if there is a mac address match. Note, the packets can be routed to more than 1 port. The static address entry will be locked in the table and does not idle the timeout. To add entries, select the port’s check box and click the Add New Entry button. To delete entries, select the port’s check box and click the Delete Selected Entry button.

•Static Address Table - This lists the static MAC address entries and the output port vector settings.

•Address Table Dump - This is a complete dump of the address table, including both the dynamic learned entries and static entries. If there is a topology change, click the Flush Table to button to remove all the
