MAC Table
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
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.

value. It was designed by Ron Rivest in 1991. MD5 is officially defined in
RFC 1321 - The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm.
Mirroring
For debugging network problems or monitoring network traffic, the
switch system can be configured to mirror frames from multiple ports to
a mirror port. (In this context,
a frame is the same as copying
the frame.)
Both incoming (source) and outgoing (destination) frames can be mirrored to the mirror
port.

iscovery for IPv6. MLD is used
by IPv6 routers to discover multicast listeners on a directly attached link,
much as MLD is used in IPv4. The protocol is embedded in ICMPv6
instead of using a separate protocol.
