DESCRIPTION

Active

Select this option to activate this rule.

 

 

Port

Enter the number of the port to which this rule is applied.

 

 

VID

Enter the VLAN identification number.

 

 

Limit Number

Use this field to limit the number of (dynamic) MAC addresses that may

 

be learned on a port in a specified VLAN. For example, if you set this field

 

to "5" on port 2, then only the devices with these five learned MAC

 

addresses may access port 2 at any one time. A sixth device would have

 

to wait until one of the five learned MAC addresses aged out. MAC

 

address aging out time can be set in the Switch Setup screen. The valid

 

range is from “0” to “16384”. “0” means this feature is disabled.

 

 

Alarm

Alarm threshold of learned MAC address by VLAN

Threshold
