Configuring the

Switch Database

You can configure the Switch Database of the stack using the Switch 
Database page.

To access the page:

1

Click the 

Configuration

 icon on the side-bar.

2

Click the 

Switch Database

 hotlink. The Switch Database page is displayed 

as shown in 

Figure 18

.

What is the Switch Database?

The Switch Database is used by the stack to determine if a packet should 
be forwarded, and which port should transmit the packet if it is to be 
forwarded. The database contains a list of entries, each containing three 
items:

■

The MAC (Ethernet) address information from each endstation that 
sends packets to the stack.

■

The port in the stack that receives packets from that endstation.

■

The Local ID of the VLAN to which the endstation belongs.

The number of addresses that the database can hold depends on the 
number of Switch units in the stack. Each unit in the Switch 1100 family 
provides support for 6,000 addresses, and each unit in the Switch 3300 
family provides support for 12,000 addresses.
