single row stating "No MAC addresses attached" is displayed.

State :
Indicates whether the corresponding MAC address is blocked or forwarding. In the blocked
state, it will not be allowed to transmit or receive traffic.

Time of Addition :
Shows the date and time when this MAC address was first seen on the port.

Age/Hold :
If at least one user module has decided to block this MAC address, it will stay in the
blocked state until the hold time (measured in seconds) expires. If all user modules have
decided to allow this MAC address to forward, and aging is enabled, the Port Security
module will periodically check that this MAC address still forwards traffic. If the age period
(measured in seconds) expires and no frames have been seen, the MAC address will be
removed from the MAC table. Otherwise a new age period will begin.
If aging is disabled or a user module has decided to hold the MAC address indefinitely, a
dash (-) will be shown.
