Select the logout time used for the console interface. This automatically logs the user out after

115200 and cannot be changed.
This field 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 default age-out time for the Switch is 300 seconds. To change this, type in a different
value representing the MAC address age-out time in seconds. The MAC Address Aging Time
can be set to any value between 10 and 1,000,000 seconds.
To enable system-wide IGMP Snooping capability select Enabled. IGMP snooping is Disabled

below). To configure IGMP Snooping for individual VLANs, use the IGMP Snooping page
under the IGMP folder.
This field specifies that the Switch should only forward all multicast traffic to a multicast-
enabled router, if enabled. Otherwise, the Switch will forward all multicast traffic to any IP
router. The default is Disabled.
