Timeouts 
The number of accounting timeouts to this server. After a timeout the client may retry 
to the same server, send to a different server, or give up. A retry to the same server is 
counted as a retransmit as well as a timeout. A send to a different server is counted

IP-MAC-Port Binding (IMPB) (EI Mode Only) 
The IP network layer uses a four-byte address. The Ethernet link layer uses a six-byte MAC address. Binding these 
two address types together allows the transmission of data between the layers. The primary purpose of IP-MAC-
port binding is to restrict the access to a switch to a number of authorized users. Authorized clients can access a 
switch’s port by either checking the pair of IP-MAC addresses with the pre-configured database or if DHCP 
snooping has been enabled in which case the switch will automatically learn the IP/MAC pairs by snooping DHCP 
packets and saving them to the IMPB white list. If an unauthorized user tries to access an IP-MAC binding enabled 
port, the system will block the access by dropping its packet. For the xStack
®
 DGS-3120 series of switches, active 
and inactive entries use the same database. The maximum number of entries is 510. The creation of authorized 
users can be manually configured by CLI or Web. The function is port-based, meaning a user can enable or disable 
the function on the individual port. 
 
IMPB Global Settings 
Users can enable or disable the Trap/Log State and DHCP Snoop state on the Switch. The Trap/Log field will 
enable and disable the sending of trap/log messages for IP-MAC-port binding. When enabled, the Switch will send 
a trap message to the SNMP agent and the Switch log when an ARP packet is received that doesn’t match the IP-
MAC-port binding configuration set on the Switch.
