2. Set the Maximum Message age
is used to measure the age of the received protocol information recorded for a port, and to ensure the
information is discarded when it exceeds the value set for the Maximum Message age timer.
3. Set the Hello Timer. The
is equal to 2 seconds (sec) by default, but you can tune the time to be between 1 and 10 sec. If you drop
the hello time from 2 sec to 1 sec, you double the number of bridge protocol data units sent/received by
each bridge. The 802.1d specification recommends the
Max Message age
4. Set the Forward
sec by default, but you can tune the time to be between 4 and 30 sec. The 802.1d specification
recommends the
value.
5. The Forwarding Table Ageout
forwarding table before being deleted due to lack of activity. If the entry replenishments a destination
generating continuous traffic, this timeout value will never be invoked. However, if the destination
becomes idle, the timeout value represents the length of time that must be exceeded before an entry is
deleted from the forwarding table.
6. To enable wireless trunking, check the
the VLAN which allow tunneling.

3.6 Virtual LAN (VLAN) Configuration

A Virtual Local Area Network or VLAN is a switched network that has been segmented by function or
application rather than by the traditional LAN segmentation which is based on physical location. VLANs
allow a greater level of flexibility than a standard LAN, and enable changes to be made to the network
infrastructure without physically disconnecting network equipment. The WS 2000 Wireless Switch supports
assigning one VLAN ID to each of the configured subnets.
