LABEL DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
Spanning Tree
Protocol Select Spanning Tree Protocol to enable. See section 5.5 for more
information.
Priority Configure the priority for each port here. Priority decides which port
should be disabled when more than one port forms a loop in a switch.
Ports with a higher priority numeric value are disabled first. The
allowed range is between 0 and 255 and default value is 128.
128 (default)
Path Cost Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame on to a LAN through that
port. It is assigned according to the speed of the bridge. The slower the
media, the higher the cost - see Table 5-2 STP Path Costs for more
information.
100
802.1Q VLAN: These fields are only visible if you chose 802.1Q In the VLAN Type field in the Switch Setup
screen.
Default VLAN ID Default VLAN ID is the PVID, the Port VLAN ID assigned to untagged
frames or priority-tagged frames received on this port.
1(default)
GVRP GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a registration protocol
that defines a way for switches to register necessary VLAN members
on ports across the network. Select this check box to enable GVRP
and propagate VLANs information beyond the local switch.
VLAN Acceptable
Frame Type
Choose All if you want the port to accept both tagged and untagged
incoming packets (to that port). Choose Tagged if you want the port to
accept just tagged incoming packets (to that port). See section 5.4 for
more information on VLANs. All
Port Security Port security means that only packets with dynamically learned MAC
addresses and/or configured static MAC addresses can pass through
this port. The switch can learn up to 16K MAC addresses in total with
no limit on individual ports other than the sum cannot exceed 16K.
For maximum port security, enable Port Security, disable Mac
address learning and configure static MAC address(es) for that port. It
is not recommended you disable Port Security together with MAC
address learning as this will result in many broadcasts.
Address Learning MAC address learning reduces outgoing broadcast traffic. For MAC
address learning to occur on a port, the port must port must have
address learning active and the port itself must be active.
Active Select Active to enable MAC address learning on this port.
