Parameter Description
MAC Address and VLAN ID: The MAC address and VLAN ID that is seen on this port. If no MAC
addresses are learnt, a single row stating "No MAC addresses attached" is
displayed.
State: Indicates whether the corresponding MAC address is blocked or forwarding.
In the blocked state, it will not be allowed to transmit or receive traffic.
Time of Addition: Shows the date and time when this MAC address was first seen on the port.
Age/Hold: If at least one user module has decided to block this MAC address, it will
stay in the blocked state until the hold time (measured in seconds) expires.
If all user modules have decided to allow this MAC address to forward, and
aging is enabled, the Port Security module will periodically check that this
MAC address still forwards traffic. If the age period (measured in seconds)
expires and no frames have been seen, the MAC address will be removed
from the MAC table. Otherwise a new age period will begin.
If aging is disabled or a user module has decided to hold the MAC address
indefinitely, a dash (-) will be shown.
Auto-Refresh: Tick the box to enable the information to be automatically refreshed.
Refresh: Used to manually refresh the information on the page.
