Port This is the port number.
Limit Quantity Use this field to limit the number of (dynamic) MAC addresses
that may be learned on a port. For example, if you set this field to
"5" on port 2, then only the devices with these five learned MAC
addresses may access port 2 at any one time. A sixth device
would have to wait until one of the five learned MAC addresses
aged out. MAC address aging out time can be set in the MAC
Table Status screen.
Action Enable the MAC limit function on this port. The MES-2110
forwards frames whose MAC address(es) is in the MAC address
table on this port. frames with no matching MAC address(es) are
dropped.
Disable the MAC limit function to forwards all frames on this port.
