Chapter 5: Local Management
5-64 6H128-08 and 6H129-08 User’s Guide
Age Time (sec) (Modifiable)
Allows the user to set the amount of time (in seconds) the 6H12X-08 will
keep an address in its switch table before discarding it. The modules will
discard an address from their switch table if they do not receive a valid
Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) from the applicable address in the
amount of time specified in the Age Time field. To change the Age Time
field from the default value of 300 seconds, refer to Section 5.18.2.
Port # (Read-Only)
Lists each switch port on the module. If the number of ports is greater
than eight, then the additional ports are listed on subsequent screens.
MAC Address (Read-Only)
Displays the hardware address assigned to each listed port.
State (Read-Only)
• Disabled: Management disabled this interface. No traffic is received or
forwarded while the interface is disabled.
• Learning: The switch is learning the network address of this interface.
The switch enters the learning state when the Transparent Database is
created (during start-up or after being deleted), or when the Spanning
Tree Algorithm detects a network topology change.
• Listening: The switch is not adding information to the Transparent
Database. The switch is monitoring BPDU traffic while preparing to
move from the learning to the forwarding state.
• Forwarding: The switch is on-line and this interface is forwarding
traffic.
• Blocking: This interface will not forward any traffic through the switch
because a loop condition has been detected by the STA.
Status (Toggle)
Allows the user to disable or enable a port by setting the status of the
listed interface to either ENABLED or DISABLED. To set the port status,
refer to Section 5.18.3.
