WebView Switches

MAC Address

Specifies the MAC address for which the

table is queried.

VLAN ID

Specifies the VLAN ID for which the table is

queried.

Address Table Sort Key

Specifies the means by which

the Dynamic MAC Address Table is sorted. The address
table can be sorted by address, VLAN, or interface.

Admin > Dynamic Address

The Dynamic Address Table contains the MAC addresses
learned by monitoring the source address for traffic
entering the switch. When the destination address for
inbound traffic is found in the database, the packets
intended for that address are forwarded directly to the
associated port. Otherwise, the traffic is flooded to all
ports.

Admin > Dynamic Address

The Dynamic Address screen contains parameters for
querying information in the Dynamic MAC Address Table,
including the interface type, MAC addresses, VLAN, and
table storing. The Dynamic MAC Address table contains
information about the aging time before a dynamic MAC
address is erased, and includes parameters for querying
and viewing the Dynamic MAC Address table. The Dynamic
MAC Address table contains address parameters by which
packets are directly forwarded to the ports. The Dynamic
Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN, and MAC
Address.

Address Aging

Specifies the amount of time (in seconds)

the MAC address remains in the Dynamic MAC Address
table before it times out, if no traffic from the source is
detected. The default value is 300 seconds.

Clear Table

If checked, clears the MAC address table.

Query

Port

Specifies the interface for which the table is queried.

There are two interface types from which to select.

Port

The specific port number.

LAG

The specific LAG number.

MAC Address

Specifies the MAC address for which the

table is queried.

VLAN ID

Specifies the VLAN ID for which the table is

queried.

Address Table Sort Key

Specifies the means by which

the Dynamic MAC Address Table is sorted. The address
table can be sorted by address, VLAN, or interface.

Admin > Logging

The System Logs enable viewing device events in real
time, and recording the events for later usage. System
Logs record and manage events and report errors or
informational messages.

Admin > Logging

Event messages have a unique format, as per the
SYSLOG protocols recommended message format for
all error reporting. For example, Syslog and local device
reporting messages are assigned a severity code, and
include a message mnemonic, which identifies the source
application generating the message. It allows messages
to be filtered based on their urgency or relevancy. Each
message severity determines the set of event logging
devices that are sent per each event logging.

Logging

Indicates if device global logs for Cache, File,

and Server Logs are enabled. Console logs are enabled by
default.

Emergency

The system is not functioning.

Alert

The system needs immediate attention.

Critical

The system is in a critical state.
