SET BRIDGE SIDE_SWITCH_MODE
Use the SET BRIDGE SIDE_SWITCH_MODE command to enable or disable
the Bridge Module's ability to detect when an Ethernet address in the
address table has switched from one port to the other.
Format
SET BRIDGE SIDE_SWITCH_MODE {setting}
Parameters
{setting} = disable
enable (default)
Example
OEBM> set bridge side_switch_mode disable [ENTER]
Side_switch_mode disabled
Description
When enabled, the SET BRIDGE SIDE_SWITCH_MODE command enables
the Bridge to detect when an Ethernet address that is currently identified in
the Bridge's address table as being on one port side has been switched to
the other port side. The Bridge can then automatically update its address
table to accurately reflect the configuration change. Side Switching should
be enabled in networking environments in which users are frequently
switched between networks (for example, when using ONline
Port-Switching modules).
When Side Switching is disabled, the Bridge does not recognize when an
Ethernet address listed in the address table has switched from one port side
to the other port side until the address gets aged out of the address table.
You may want to disable Side Switching when network security is critical.
