Operating Instructions, 12/2011, A5E00349864-19
Passive Listening Enabled (not relevant for X-200IRT IE switches)
With this check box, you enable/disable the "Passive Listening" function. If the "Passive
Listening" function is enabled, the X-200IRT switch forwards received RSTP-BPDUs. If
"Passive Listening" is disabled, all received RSTP frames are discarded.
Note
Passive listening can only be enabled when RSTP is enabled.
Oversize Mode
If you select this check box, frames with a size up to 1,632 bytes instead of 1,528 bytes are
permitted.
Aging (relevant only for X-200IRT IE switches)
Here, you can disable the aging function by clicking on the check box. The aging time can be
set in seconds.
Note
If the aging function is disabled, communication problems will occur when connected nodes
are plugged into different ports. In normal mode, the aging function should therefore remain
enabled.
NOTICE
Note the following for all X-200IRT IE switches:
With the "Port Mirroring" function and cyclic PROFINET data traffic, the mirror port (monitor
port) only shows the frames received at the monitored port (mirrored port). Non-cyclic
frames mean that PROFINET communication is not involved and, in this case therefore,
both sent and received packets are shown at the mirror port (monitor port).
