Chapter 8

Allow Learning

Select Disable to prevent the port from learning new
MAC addresses and forwarding them to the Supervisor
module to be added to the VLANs AFT. Enable is the
default.

For example, you can set this parameter to Disable, then
add a static MAC address entry for this port. If you do not
select Disable before you add a static MAC address,
unicast flooding can occur.

Note:

If a MAC address is moved to a different VLAN,

it will coexist in AFTs, one entry for each VLAN
(This is a benefit of having multiple forwarding
databases).

Hunt Group

Select a hunt group for which this port will be a member.
None is the default.

For the 10-Gigabit module, a need for redundancy would
probably be the reason that you use a hunt group.

Note:

All ports that participate in the same hunt group

must have the same bandwidth. Thus, 10-Gigabit
ports can participate only in a hunt group that
consists of other 10-Gigabit ports.

Spanning Tree
Mode

Select Disable to remove STP on this port. Enable is the
default.

Intrusion Trap

Enable or disable intrusion traps.

If intrusion traps are enabled, trap messages are sent to the
event log when the port receives an unknown source
MAC address. One trap is generated per intrusion trap
timer setting.

For this feature to provide maximum port security, the
port must have a static MAC address and learning must be
disabled. For more information on intrusion traps, see

Configuring MAC Address Lock and Intrusion

Detection

” later in this chapter.

Intrusion Trap
Timer

Time interval at which intrusion traps are generated.

The default setting for the intrusion trap timer is 1800
seconds (30 minutes). The valid range for the timer is 60
to 1800 seconds.
