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
16.65 hours. 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.
