one of the following reasons:
•PD-Overload: The PoE-P D had requested or consumed more
power than what the port could deliver, so it was turn ed off.
•Power-Overload: Overall total power including new PD power
request exceeds the maximum unit overall power capabilities.
•PD-Underload: PD device power consumption is to low (less then
10mA), so power was turned off (endless On On/Off c ycle).

and VLAN inside the MAC learning table. If it is found, then the packet will be forwarded to the specified
port; otherwise the packet is flooded to all ports on the same VLAN.

Set the maximum time in seconds in which a source MAC address may remain in the Switch MAC table
without receiving another packet with the same source M AC address from the same port.

NOTE:
NOTE:
12, 13, 200, and 300.
The following MAC learning options are available:
Auto – Normal automatic source MAC address learning and filtering for every incoming packet.
Disable - No MAC learning is done from the selected port. However, the same Switch MAC filtering
algorithm applies, meaning that the received incoming pac ket wil l be sent to a specific port in case the
destination MAC is in the MAC leaning table, or be flooded to all other ports
case the destination MAC is unknown.
on the same VLAN in
Secure – Source MAC address learning is disabled for the selected port. Any incoming packet with
unknown source MAC will be discarded. This mode should be used whenever network communication
should be restricted to a limited number of network devices with known MAC address.
However, whenever a packet is received on another port configured as Auto (for example) with
destination MAC unknown, or multicast/broadcast, then this packet will be flooded to all other port s on
same VLAN including those configured as Secure.
To avoid unit management loss, please make sure that the link used for managing the unit was
added to the Static Mac Table before changing to secure learning mode.
4.6.3 VLAN Learning-Disabled configuration
Figure 4-12: VLAN Learning Configuration
It is possible to configure the Switch not to the learn source MAC address from specific VLAN, or a
group of VLANs. Incoming packets from learning-disabled VLANs will be forwarded to other port s as
before (no packet drop. Forward to specific port i f destination MAC is known, or flood to all other ports
on same VLAN if destination MAC is unknown).
The following example: 1,10-13,200,300 will disable source MAC learning from VLANs 1, 10, 11,
4.6.4 Static MAC Table Configuration
Figure 4-13: Static MAC Table Configuration
Static MAC address configuration affects mostly the way packets with dest i nation MAC matching to one
of the static MAC addresses are being handled by the Switch.
Forwarding a packet with static destination MAC – A packet with a destination MAC matching to
one of the static MAC table entries will be forward o nly to the checked ports. For example, if packet with
destination MAC 00-2A-59-4A-17-3B, as in the image above, will be received on port #2 (unchecked),
then it will be forwarded to ports 4,7,8,9 (checked)
Forwarding a packet with a static source MAC – A packet with source MAC which is the sam e as
one of the MAC address in the static MAC table entries, for example 00-2A-59-4A-17-3B as in the
image above, which received from one of the unchec ked sourc e ports, will be forwarding as a usual
packet based on the destination MAC. The Switch MAC table will not update t he source port from which
the packet was received.
