x Spanning Tree Enable State is disabled by default on the MIL-S3580. The switch uses the IEEE802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), when enabled, to ensure that only one path at a time is active between any two nodes on the network.

x Dynamic Entry Aging Time - This is the time, in seconds, that the switch keeps an address of a device in the MAC address table. 300 seconds or 5 minutes is the default. The time can be set from 5 seconds to 999 seconds or

16.65hours. A MAC address can also be entered in the static address table to prevent aging out.

x Broadcast Storm Prevention can be set to 6%, 20% or Disabled. The percentage indicates the allowance against the capacity. When disabled, there is no limitation on the incoming rate of broadcast/multicast traffic, otherwise limitation on broadcast traffic will be set to the configured percentage.
