Port Learning
Selecting Toggle port learning setting changes a port’s MAC
address learning to Disabled if it was previously Enabled , and
Enabled if it was previously Disabled .
All ports (except the AUI port) are in learning mode by default; they learn
and store MAC addresses. If you want to use a port as a “network” port,
that is, connected to the backbone, turn off its learning so it does not store
uplink addresses. If your redundant link is a backbone connection, turn off
learning on both redundant ports.
When you display the port list, the MAC Learning column shows the
state of each port’s ability to learn MAC addresses as the port detects new
ones.
Enabled means the port updates the MAC address table with any
new MAC address it detects. Disabled means the port does not learn
unknown MAC addresses on incoming packets.
AUI Port
Configuration
The Port status menu for the AUI port is somewhat different, as some
of the menu items do not apply to this port:
Note that link integrity tests do not apply to this port.
