Specify a port to which packets with the specific MAC address are forwarded. Specify an existing VLAN in which packets with the specific MAC address are received. You can add static MAC address entries by manually specifying the desired MAC address or binding dynamic MAC address entries.Ĭhoose the menu L2 FEATURES > Switching > MAC Address > Static Address and click to load the following page.įollow these steps to add a static MAC address entry:ġ)Enter the MAC address, VLAN ID and select a port to bind them together as an address entry.Įnter the static MAC address to be added to the static MAC address entry. The switch will not learn addresses when the number of learned addresses has reached the limit, preventing the address table from being used up by broadcasting packets of MAC address attacks. You can configure VLAN Security to limit the number of MAC addresses that can be learned in specified VLANs. Limiting the Number of MAC Addresses in VLANs For example, you can configure the switch to send notifications when a new MAC address is learned, so the administrator knows a new users accesses the network. You can configure traps and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to monitor and receive notifications of the usage of the MAC address table and the MAC address change activity. T1500/T1600G series switches do not support MAC Notification or MAC VLAN Security. For some relatively fixed connection, for example, frequently visited server, you can manually set the MAC address of the server as a static entry to enhance the forwarding efficiency of the switch.įiltering addresses are manually added and determine the packets with specific source or destination MAC addresses that will should dropped by the switch. Static addresses are manually added to the address table and do not age. And you can specify the aging time if needed. ![]() That is, the switch removes the MAC address entries related to a network device if no packet is received from the device within the aging time. Furthermore, you can configure notification traps and limit the number of MAC addresses in a VLAN for traffic safety.ĭynamic addresses are addresses learned by the switch automatically, and the switch regularly ages out those that are not in use. You can add or remove these entries according to your needs. The address table of the switch contains dynamic addresses, static addresses and filtering addresses. Based on the MAC-address-to-port mapping in the table, the switch can forward packets only to the associated port. These entries can be manually added or automatically learned by the switch. As shown below, the table lists map entries of MAC addresses, VLAN IDs and ports. The MAC address table contains address information that the switch uses to forward packets. So if Windows isn’t such a hurdle any more, the hardware is cheaper and more powerful, you can use all your favourite old apps, GPU-acceleration is easy and you can use as many PCIe cards as you can afford, AND you can play all the latest games in your down time… what’s stopping you from simply adding an affordable PC to your arsenal and seeing how you get on? A second computer is always useful, and you never know, you might just like it.T1500G-8T v2 or above, T1500G-10PS v2 or above, T1500G-10MPS v2 or above, T1500-28PCT v3 or above, T1600G-18TS v2 or above, T1600G-28TS v3 or above, T1600G-28PS v3 or above, T1600G-52TS v3 or above, T1600G-52PS v3 or above, T1700X-16TS v3 or above, T1700G-28TQ v3 or above, T2500G-10TS v2 or above, T2600G-18TS v2 or above, T2600G-28TS v3 or above, T2600G-28MPS v3 or above, T2600G-28SQ v1 or above, T2600G-52TS v3 or above. Mac users often have to wait months for a native macOS version – which may well be feature-limited in some way – and with the increasing restrictions implemented by Apple, there might not be a Mac version at all. Apart from a handful of Mac-specific programs and the occasional oddity, like Serif’s Affinity suite, apps are written for the PC and ported to the Mac later. ![]() ![]() This is a really old argument but it’s still relevant. ![]() Affinity Photo is one of the few apps developed initially for macOS, but popular demand saw it ported to it PC anyway (Image credit: Serif)
