|
Address | MAC address learning reduces outgoing broadcast traffic. For MAC address |
Learning | learning to occur on a port, the port itself must be active with address learning |
| enabled. |
|
|
Limited Number | Use this field to limit the number of (dynamic) MAC addresses that may be learned |
of Learned | on a port. For example, if you set this field to "5" on port 2, then only the devices with |
MAC Address | 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 16K. “0” means this feature is disabled, so the switch will learn MAC |
| addresses up to the global limit of 16K. |
