• Port Isolation - Toggle to enable or disable port isolation.
• Post security max count - Default is 0, which disables port security. Range is 0-256. This is the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be learned on the port. Network security can be increased by limiting access on a specific port to users with specific MAC addresses.
• B/W Ingress Rate (Kbps) - Default is 0, which disables ingress bandwidth control. Allowed values are multiples of 16 between 0 and 1,000,000.
• B/W Egress Rate (Kbps) - Default is 0, which disables egress bandwidth control. Allowed values are multiples of 16 between 0 and 1,000,000.

• CoS - Select the CoS priority to set the priority for packets entering on this port. Default is 0. Range is 0-7 for Class of Service tags, with 0 (background) and 1 (best effort) the lowest priority and, 7 being the highest priority in the traffic forwarding queue.

STORM CONTROL SETTINGS - Storm Control limits the amount of Broadcast, Unknown Multicast, and Unknown Unicast frames accepted and forwarded by the Switch. Storm Control can be enabled per port by defining the packet type and the rate of packet transmission. The Switch discards the frames when the rate exceeds the defined rate.

• Broadcast Rate (Kbps) - Default is 0, which disables port broadcast. Allowed values are multiples of 16 between 0 and 1,000,000.

• Unknown Multicast Rate (Kbps) - Default is 0, which disables port unknown multicast.Allowed values are multiples of 16 between 0 and 1,000,000.
