Configuring
Non-VLAN
Switch Port
Parameters
Using the Web
Agent
To configure Non-VLAN switch port parameters using the web
agent:
* Note: This procedure begins at the Switch Port Configuration
dialog box. Refer to "Configuring Switch Port
Parameters Using the Web Agent",
steps 1 through 4.
1. Select Disable from the Allow Learning field pull-down
menu. This prevents the port from learning new MAC
addresses. This feature can be useful for security.
*Note: If you want to allow a port to learn new
addresses, reselect Enable. For example, you can
set this parameter to Disable, then add a static
MAC address entry for this port.
If you do not select Disable before you add a static
MAC address, Unicast flooding can result.
2. Select a Hunt group from the Hunt Group field pull-down
menu. Refer to Chapter4, Using VLANs, Spanning Tree, Hunt
Groups, and VTP Snooping for more information on hunt
groups.
3. Select Disable from the Spanning Tree field pull-down menu
to keep STP from running on this port. Reselect Enable to run
STP on this port.
4. Select Enable from the Fast Start field pull-down menu to
allow Fast Start mode ports to begin forwarding traffic
without waiting for STP negotiation to complete. Fast start
eliminates the listening and learning waiting times. Ports
immediately enter the forward state. Reselect Disable to
prevent traffic from being forwarded.
