LABEL

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” in the XGS-4728F and from “0” to “8192” in

 

the XGS-4526 or XGS-4528F. “0” means this feature is disabled.

 

 

Add

Click Add to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the

 

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-

 

volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to reset the fields to your previous configuration.

 

 

Clear

Click Clear to clear the fields to the factory defaults.

 

 

Index

This field displays the index number of the rule. Click an index number to

 

change the settings.

 

 

Active

This field displays Yes when the rule is activated and No when is it

 

deactivated.

a VLAN.
