The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
Serial Port Auto
Logout
This setting for the restart of the console is 2 Minutes, 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes, 15 Minutes, or
Never. The default is 10 Minutes.
Serial Port Baud
Rate
Determines the serial port bit rate that will be used the next time the Switch is restarted.
Available speeds are 9600, 19,200, 38,400, and 115,200 bits per second. The default setting is
9600.
MAC Address
Aging Time (0-
14400) Minutes
This field specifies the length of time a learned MAC Address will remain in the forwarding table
without being accessed (that is, how long a learned MAC Address is allowed to remain idle). To
change this, type in a different value representing the MAC address age-out time in seconds.
The MAC Address Aging Time can be set to any value between 0 and 14,400. The default
setting is 5.
IGMP Snooping
This indicates if Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping is enabled on the
Switch. When enabled, this feature instructs the Switch to read IGMP packets being forwarded
through the Switch in order to obtain forwarding information from them (learn which ports
contain Multicast members). The Switch’s IGMP snooping state can be changed on the IGMP
Snooping Settings window (Configuration → IGMP Snooping → IGMP Snooping). The
default is Disabled.
Multicast Router
Only
This field specifies that the Switch should only forward all multicast traffic to a multicast-enabled
router, if enabled. Otherwise, the Switch will forward all multicast traffic to any IP router. The
default is Disabled.
