Function name:
Allowed Forwarding MAC Address
Function description:
Allowed Forwarding MAC Address is a function to allow the user in the
Allowed Forwarding table to access a specified port of the converter. Allowed
Forwarding table associated with a specified port of a converter is setup by
manually inputting MAC address and its alias name. The data in the table is
kept until Signamax 065-1600 series is powered off. The traffic with the source
MAC address listed in the Allowed Forwarding Table can only access the
converter from the port associated. The MAC address associated with the
specified port cannot access any other port of the converter. All of the above
settings will take effect only when the “Port Security Setting” function of the
associated port is enabled.
For adding a MAC address entry in the allowed table, you just need to fill in
three parameters: MAC address, associated port, and priority. Just enter its
<Delete Entry> function, you also can remove the MAC address entry you
want (See Fig.4-36).
