Enterasys 2e42-27 Manuel D’Utilisation

The following describes each field of the Switch Configuration screen:

(Read-Only)

Displays the MAC address of the switch.

(Read-Only)

Displays the total number of switched ports on the 2H28-08R. 

Type of STA (Selectable)

Allows the user to set the method that switches use to decide which 
switch is the controlling (Root) switch when two or more switches exist in 
parallel (Spanning Tree Algorithm). Valid selections are IEEE, DEC, and 
NONE. To set the STA, refer to 

. 

Age Time  (Modifiable)

Allows the user to set the amount of time (in seconds) that the 2H28-08R 
keeps an address in its switch table before discarding it. An address is 
automatically discarded when a valid Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) 
is not received from that address within the time specified in the Age Time 
field. To change the Age Time field from the default value of 300 seconds, 
refer to 

.

Port # (Read-Only)

Lists each switched port on the device. 

(Read-Only)

Displays the hardware address assigned to each listed port.

State (Read-Only)

There are five states that can display in this field. These states are 
described as follows:

Disabled: Management disabled this interface. No traffic is received or 
forwarded while the interface is disabled.

Learning: The switch is learning the addresses on this interface. The 
switch enters the learning state when the Transparent Database is 
created (during start-up or after being deleted), or when the Spanning 
Tree Algorithm detects a network topology change.
