To change the sample time for adaptive forwarding mode

You can specify when to change adaptive forwarding mode by changing the sample time for measuring errors.

The sample time should be the shortest time needed to detect errors. If the sample time is too great, there may be too many errors before the forwarding mode changes. If the sample time is too short, the switch will not take advantage of adaptive forwarding for best performance. CRC errors and runts are the most common errors, but other errors can be detected and change the switching mode.

1. Open Device | Switching and then click Advanced.

2. Change Sample time as needed.

3. Click Apply and then Close.
