MAC Forwarding
Static Unicast Forwarding
Static Multicast Forwarding
Broadcast/Multicast Storm Control
The Switch allows permanent or static entries into the forwarding database (FDB). These FDB entries are MAC addresses that
will not age out. The menu links for MAC Forwarding configuration are found in a separate subdirectory in the Forwarding
subdirectory in the Advanced Setup folder.
MAC Address Aging Time
The MAC Address Aging Time specifies the length of time a learned MAC Address will remain in the forwarding table
without being accessed (that is, how long a learned MAC Address is allowed to remain idle). The Aging Time can be set to
any value between 10 and 1,000,000 seconds.
To configure the MAC Address Aging Time, click on the Forwarding folder and then the MAC Forwarding folder, then
click on the MAC Address Aging Time link:
