Parameter Description
Firewall A software or hardware-based network security system that controls the
incoming and outgoing network traffic by analyzing the data packets
and determining whether they should be allowed through or not, based
on applied rules set
The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table represents the number
of the packets dropped by the firewall system in the network
Possible loop A switching or bridging loop occurs in a network when there is more
than one Layer 2 path between two endpoints
Because a physical topology that contains switching or bridging loops is
needed for the redundancy reasons, the solution is to allow physical
loops, but create a loop-free logical topology using the spanning tree
protocol (STP) on the network switches
The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table represents the number
of the packets dropped because they belong to a possible loop (more
than one port declares same packet source)
Discard The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table represents the number
of the packets dropped by the configuration (for example: "switch group
N start [discard]")
MAC Limit MAC address-table limit reached (switch maxsources (MAXSOURCES|0) #
default 5000)
The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table represents the number
of the packets dropped because the limit of MAC address-table was
reached
Reverse The value displayed in the Switch Statistics table represents the number
of the packets dropped because they have the same source and
destination port (the frame came to the unit through one port and
according to the switching table it must leave through the same port)
