Forwarding Filtering

Unicast MAC Address Forwarding
MAC addresses can be statically entered into the switch's MAC
Address Forwarding Table. These addresses will never age out.
To enter a MAC address into the switch's forwarding
table, click on the Forwarding Filtering folder on the
Configuration menu and then click Unicast Forwarding:
of the segment.
Select Yes or No. Choosing Yes
designates the port as an edge port.
Edge ports cannot create
however an edge port can lose edge
port status if a topology change
creates a potential for a loop. An
edge port normally
receive BPDU packets. If a BPDU
packet is received it automatically
loses edge port status. No indicates
the port does not have edge port
status.
Select Yes or No. Choosing Yes
indicates a point-to-point
shared link. These are similar to
edge ports, however
restricted in that a p2p port must
operate in full duplex. Like edge
ports, p2p ports transition to a
forwarding state
benefiting from RSTP.
