in the low priority queue; a value of 4-7 causes the
packet to be placed in the high priority queue.
♦ Port Lock When Enabled, automatic learning for all
stations connected to this port will stop and entries in
the Forwarding Table for all devices residing on this port
will age out. The only traffic this port will allow is traffic
from machines whose MAC address is manually entered
in the Static Forwarding Table.
♦ Broadcast Storm Rising Action This setting will be
activated when a Broadcast Storm Rising Threshold is
met. When triggered, the port can be configured to Do
Nothing, Blocking or Blocking-Trap. The Do Nothing setting
causes the switch to operate normally, in other words,
ignore the broadcast storm condition. The Blocking
setting causes the port to drop all broadcast frames, thus
isolating the broadcast storm. Blocking-Trap performs the
same action as Blocking, except it also sends a trap to the
designated Trap Recipient informing them of the
situation. For more information on broadcast storms,
please refer to the previous chapter.
♦ Broadcast Storm Falling Action This setting will be
activated when the Broadcast Storm Rising Threshold
and then the Broadcast Storm Falling Thresholdare each
met. This setting can be configured to Do Nothing,
Forwarding or Forwarding-Trap. The Do Nothing setting
causes the switch to operate normally, that is, to ignore
the situation. If the port had met the Broadcast Storm
Rising Action criteria and started Blocking broadcast
packets, it will continue doing so. The Forwarding setting
causes the port to begin forwarding broadcast frames,
thus removing the Blocking state imposed by the
Broadcast Storm Rising Action. Forwarding-Trap performs
the same action as Forwarding, except it also sends a
trap to the designated Trap Recipient informing them of
the situation.
