Figure 7-10. Configure Forwarding Table And Filtering Table
This window allows you to stop or start address learning, use an
address look-up mode, and select an age-out time of the MAC address
in the selected address table. Click Apply to let your changes take
effect.
The following fields above can be set:
Lock Address Table(Stop Learning) Mostly used for security
purposes, when the forwarding table is locked the Switch will no
longer learn the MAC addresses for new hosts. If your network
configuration doesn't change, locking the forwarding table helps
keep intruders off your network since any packet coming from an
unknown source address will be dropped by the Switch.
Address Look-up Mode Select from: Level 0, Level 1, Level 2,
Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6, or Level 7.
