FIELD DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
SuperMac
Enable or Disable the capability of using a more aggressive backing off of
incoming pockets when collisions happen.
When set to Enable, the device will use a more aggressive back off algorithm
(back off max. 3 time slots) when collisions occur, instead of using the
standard Ethernet back off algorithm.
When set to Disable, the device will use the IEEE802.3 standard exponential
back off algorithm when collisions occur.
Disable
(default)
Aging Control
Enable or Disable the aging time of the forwarding database’s dynamic
entries. The address table is set by automatic address learning (dynamic) or
by manual entry (static). Aging Control is only available to dynamic entries.
Select Enable to make the switch age the dynamic address learning entries.
When you select Disable, the switch will not age the dynamic address
learning entries.
Enable
