Total MAC Stations
Counter
Total MAC Stations is a counter of all the MAC stations over a period of time per
segment. A count of all MAC stations displays in the
Overview
counters of Expert
View. A threshold for this counter can be set in Expert Alarms. The MAC station
counter helps detect excessive MAC stations (nodes) on a LAN segment. This helps
indicate possible intruder stations as well as help the network manager limit and
control the number of stations allowed on a segment.
