DESCRIPTION

depending on whether you choose 802.1Q VLAN type or Port Based
VLAN type in this screen. See

Bridge Control
Protocol
Transparency
Select Active to allow the Switch to handle bridging control protocols
(STP, for example). You also need to define how to treat a BPDU in the
Port Setup screen.
MAC Address
Learning
MAC address learning reduces outgoing traffic broadcasts. For MAC
address learning to occur on a port, the port must be active.
Aging Time
Enter a time from 10 to 3000 seconds. This is how long all dynamically
learned MAC addresses remain in the MAC address table before they age
out (and must be relearned).
GARP Timer: Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by
issuing a Join message using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave
message. A Leave All message terminates all registrations. GARP timers set declaration
timeout values. See
for more background information.
