5. Select Enable from the Known Mode field pull-down menu
to suppress any packets that have unknown unicast
destination addresses and are flooded to this port.
For example, if a known end-station or file server is
connected to the port, there’s no need to flood unknown
unicasts to that port. You must manually enter a static MAC
address for the station actually attached to the port. Reselect
Disable to prevent the suppressing of packets.
6. Select 3Com Default from the 3Com Mapping Table field pull-
down menu to specify how incoming tagged frames from
3Com equipment are mapped to Lucent VLANs. Refer to

information.
