Chapter 8 MAC Address Tables
8-1 Configuration
Switching of frames is based upon the DMAC address contained in the frame. The switch builds up a
table that maps MAC addresses to switch ports for knowing which ports the frames should go to
(based upon the DMAC address in the frame). This table contains both static and dynamic entries. The
static entries are configured by the network administrator if the administrator wants to do a fixed
mapping between the DMAC address and switch ports.
The frames also contain a MAC address (SMAC address), which shows the MAC address of the
equipment sending the frame. The SMAC address is used by the switch to automatically update the
MAC table with these dynamic MAC addresses. Dynamic entries are removed from the MAC table if no
frame with the corresponding SMAC address have been seen after a configurable age time
