Browse Address Table
The
Browse Address Table
allows the user to view which Switch port(s) a specific network device uses to

To display the Browse Address Table, choose
Network Monitoring
from the main menu and then choose
Browse Address Table

<Enter> or arrow keys to navigate the screen. The FIND command initiates the search.

fields only appear when
Port
has been selected in the Search By field).
The message area at the bottom of the screen will display pertinent information regarding the function of the
highlighted screen command or tell you when no addresses can be found.

when a new link is established, and when configuration is saved to flash memory.
