MAC Address Aging
Time
DES-3526 / DES-3526DC Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch
Minutes, 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes, 15 Minutes or Never. The default setting is 10
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 10 and 1,000,000 seconds. The default setting is 300 seconds.
IGMP Snooping To enable system-wide IGMP Snooping capability select Enabled. IGMP snooping is
Disabled by default. Enabling IGMP snooping allows you to specify use of a multicast
router only (see below). To configure IGMP Snooping for individual VLANs, use the
IGMP Snooping window under the IGMP folder.
GVRP Status Use this pull-down menu to enable or disable GVRP on the Switch.
Telnet Status Telnet configuration is Enabled by default. If you do not want to allow configuration of
the system through Telnet choose Disabled.
TCP Port Number (1-
65535)
The TCP port number. TCP ports are numbered between 1 and 65535. The "wellknown"
TCP port for the Telnet protocol is 23.
Web Status Web-based management is Enabled by default. If you choose to disable this by selecting
Disabled, you will lose the ability to configure the system through the web interface
as soon as these settings are applied.
Web TCP Port
Number
Link Aggregation
Algorithm
The TCP port number currently being utilized by the Switch to connect to the web
interface. The "well-known" TCP port for the Web interface is 80.
The algorithm that the Switch uses to balance the load across the ports that make up
the port trunk group is defined by this definition. Choose MAC Source, MAC
Destination, MAC Src & Dest, IP Source, IP Destination or IP Src & Dest (See the Link
Aggregation section of this manual).
RMON Status Remote monitoring (RMON) of the Switch is Enabled or Disabled here.
802.1x Status MAC Address may enable by port or the Switch’s 802.1x function; the default is
Disabled. This field must be enabled to view and configure certain windows for 802.1x.
More information regarding 802.1x, its functions and implementation can be found
later in this section, under the Port Access Entity folder.
Port-Based 802.1x specifies that ports configured for 802.1x are initialized based on
the port number only and are subject to any authorization parameters configured.
MAC-based Authorization specifies that ports configured for 802.1x are initialized
based on the port number and the MAC address of the computer being authorized and
are then subject to any authorization parameters configured.
802.1x
Authentication
Protocol
The user may use the pull-down menu to choose between radius eap and radius pap
for the 802.1x authentication protocol on the Switch. The default setting is radius eap.
Asymmetric VLAN This field will enable or disable Asymmetric VLANs on the Switch. The default is
Disabled.
Syslog Global State Enables or disables Syslog State; default is Disabled.
Click Apply to implement changes made.
NOTE: When the Asymmetric VLAN function is Disabled, the user must change
the VLAN setting on the Switch to its default configurations.
