Table 6-2 Port Edit Screen

LABEL	DESCRIPTION	EXAMPLE
Broadcast Storm	Enable Broadcast Storm Control to reduce broadcast traffic coming
Control	into or going out of this port. Broadcast Storm Control includes
	multicast packets. Use the Threshold field to limit the number of
	broadcast frames that can be:
	Stored in a port’s buffer or
	Sent out from the port.
	Broadcast frames that arrive within the monitor interval specified in the
	Switch Setup screen but after the buffer is full are discarded.
Threshold	Select the number of frames allowed in the Threshold drop-down list	128
	box. If you wish your network to receive or broadcast a lot of broadcast
	traffic then choose a larger number. To reduce broadcast traffic coming
	into or going out of your network, choose a smaller number.
Direction	Select Incoming to control how many broadcast frames the port can	incoming
	store in the switch buffer and select Outgoing to control how many
	frames the port will send out.
Link Aggregate	The ES-3024 supports the link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard.
Control Protocol	This standard describes the Link Aggregate Control Protocol (LACP),
	which is a protocol that is used to dynamically create and manage
	trunk groups. The standard provides link identification, status
	monitoring and synchronization across links.
Timeout	Timeout is the time interval between the individual port exchanges of
	LACP packets in order to check that the peer port in the trunk group is
	still up. If a port does not respond after three tries, then it is deemed to
	be “down” and is removed from the trunk. Set a short timeout (one
	second) for busy trunked links to ensure that disabled ports are
	removed from the trunk group as soon as possible.
	Select either 1 second or 30 seconds.
802.1x	Select this checkbox to permit 802.1x authentication on this port. You
	must first allow 802.1x authentication on the switch (see Switch Setup
	screen) before configuring it on each port.
Reauthentication	Specify if a subscriber has to periodically re-enter his or her username	On
	and password to stay connected to the port.
Reauthentication	Specify how often a client has to re-enter his or her username and	3600
Timer	password to stay connected to the port.

Click Apply to save your changes back to the switch or click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
