Address Learning MAC address learning reduces outgoing broadcast traffic. For MAC address learning to occur
on a port, the port itself must be active with address learning enabled.
Limited Number of Use this field to limit the number of (dynamic) MAC addresses that may be learned on a port.
Learned MAC For example, if you set this field to "5" on port 2, then only the devices with these five learned
Address 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 16K. The switch can learn up to 16K MAC
addresses in total with no limit on individual ports other than the sum cannot exceed 16K. 0
means this feature is disabled, so the switch will learn MAC addresses up to the global limit of
16K.
