45
Deny: Frames matching the ACE are dropped.
Rate Limiter :
Indicates the rate limiter number of the ACE. The allowed range is 1 to 16.
When Disabled is displayed, the rate limiter operation is disabled.
Port Copy :
Indicates the port copy operation of the ACE. Frames matching the ACE are
copied to the port number. The allowed values are Disabled or a specific port
number. When Disabled is displayed, the port copy operation is disabled.
Mirror :
Specify the mirror operation of this port. The allowed values are:
Enabled: Frames received on the port are mirrored.
Disabled: Frames received on the port are not mirrored.
The default value is "Disabled".
CPU :
Forward packet that matched the specific ACE to CPU.
CPU Once :
Forward first packet that matched the specific ACE to CPU.
Counter :
The counter indicates the number of times the ACE was hit by a frame.
Conflict :
Indicates the hardware status of the specific ACE. The specific ACE is not
applied to the hardware due to hardware limitations.

3-3 Aggregation
The Aggregation is used to configure the settings of Link Aggregation. You can bundle more
than one port with the same speed, full duplex, and the same MAC to be a single logical port,
thus the logical port aggregates the bandwidth of these ports. This means you can apply your
current Ethernet equipment to build the bandwidth aggregation. For example, if there are
three Fast Ethernet ports aggregated in a logical port, then this logical port has bandwidth
three times as high as a single Fast Ethernet port has.
3-3.1 Static Trunk
The Aggregation Configuration is used to configure the settings of Link Aggregation. You can
bundle more than one port with the same speed, full duplex, and the same MAC to be a
single logical port, thus the logical port aggregates the bandwidth of these ports. This means
you can apply your current Ethernet equipment to build the bandwidth aggregation.
3-3.1.1 Static Trunk
Ports using Static Trunk as their trunk method can choose their unique Static GroupID to form
a logical “trunked port.” The benefit of using the Static Trunk method is that a port can
immediately become a member of a trunk group without any handshaking with its peer port.
This is also a disadvantage because the peer ports of your static trunk group may not know
that they should aggregate together to form a “logic trunked port”. Using Static Trunk on both
ends of a link is strongly recommended.
NOTE: Low-speed links will stay in “not ready” state when using static trunk to aggregate with
high speed links.
