Configuring Port Parameters
7. Select an option from the VLAN Binding field pull-down
menu. The options are Static (default), Bind-to-All, and
Bind-to-Receive. Refer to Table 5-7 for an explanation of
these options.
8. Select Enable or Disable (default) from the VTP Snooping
field pull-down menu.VTP is a Cisco proprietary Layer 2
trunk port protocol that is used among Cisco switches, over
trunk ports, to maintain a VLAN configuration consistency
across the network.The switch performs VTP operations
when connected to a Cisco switch’s trunk that has VTP
enabled. The switch queries its Cisco peer for its VLAN
configuration. It also learns Cisco VLAN configurations from
received Cisco message.
9. Select Enable or Disable (default) from the Automatic
VLAN Creation field pull-down menu. This automatically
creates a VLAN each time the port receives a frame from an
unknown VLAN.
10. To Allow Learning, select Disable from the field pull-
down menu. This prevents the port from learning new MAC
addresses. This feature can be useful for security.
* Note: If you want to allow a port to learn new
addresses, reselect Enable. For example, you can
set this parameter to Disable, then add a static
MAC address entry for this port.
If you do not select Disable before you add a
static MAC address, Unicast flooding can result.
11. Select a Hunt group from the Hunt Group field pull-down
menu. Refer to Chapter , "Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, Hunt
Groups, and VTP Snooping" for more information on hunt
groups.
12. Select Disable from the Spanning Tree field pull-down
menu to keep STP from running on this port. Reselect
Enable to run STP on this port.
13. Select Enable from the Fast Start field pull-down menu to
allow Fast Start mode ports to begin forwarding traffic
without waiting for STP negotiation to complete. Fast start
eliminates the listening and learning waiting times. Ports
immediately enter the forward state. Reselect Disable to
prevent traffic from being forwarded.
14. Set the Intrusion Trap field to Enable to enable Intrusion
Trap.
