Introduction

In order to boost the performance of the DES-3205, the Filtering
Data Base is used to accomplish this task by:
◊ Explicitly forwarding user defined MAC addresses.
◊ Discarding frames with undefined addresses.
◊ Letting the user define sixteen MAC addresses for each
port.

Explicit Forwarding

The DES-3205 Switch comes with an explicit forwarding feature.
This feature can be used for security as well as other aspects in the
management of the Switch.
Explicit forwarding can be viewed in relation to a post office where
slots are reserved for forwarding specific letters once they are
identified for particular addresses. In the Switch, each port has a

  • Page 2 The Console management program can be accessed via the RS-232 DCE port located in the front panel of the DES-3205. These MAC addresses form the basis for explicit forwarding and can be used for filtering and security of the system. Filtering can be viewed as the process of discarding, examining, forwarding and blocking of packets as they go through the Switch.

At the setup screen, verify that all settings are in accord with the settings shown on the front panel of the DES-3205 Switch or the “DCE/DTE line setting” in the Out-of-Band Management section of this user’s guide.
