Enter how long (1-2147483647 seconds) the MAC address filter remains in
the Switch after the Switch identifies an unauthorized ARP packet. The
Switch automatically deletes the MAC address filter afterwards. Enter 0 if
you want the MAC address filter to be permanent.

by ARP packets and have not been sent to the syslog server yet. Make
sure this number is appropriate for the specified Syslog rate and Log
interval.
If the number of log messages in the Switch exceeds this number, the
Switch stops recording log messages and simply starts counting the
number of entries that were dropped due to unavailable buffer. Click
