Manual Unicast MAC Address Provisioning
Users can view, create, and delete a unicast MAC address to and from the filtering
database of an Ethernet switch unit. A unicast MAC address entry in the filtering
database consists of a unicast MAC address, a V-LAN entry, and a destination port.
Upon request, the user can view the entire list of provisioned static entries from the
filtering database of a switch unit. For more information, refer the Metropolis
®
AMU
User Operations Guide.
Manual Multicast MAC Address Provisioning
Users can view, create, and delete a multicast/broadcast MAC address to and from the
filtering database of an Ethernet switch unit. A multicast/broadcast MAC address entry
in the filtering database consists of the multicast/broadcast MAC address, a V-LAN
entry, and a destination port list. Upon request, the user can view the entire list of
provisioned static entries from the filtering database of a switch unit. This feature is
only applicable on the ESW4_E14 option card. For more information, refer the
Metropolis
®
AMU User Operations Guide.
Delete/View Dynamic Entry from Filtering Database
Users can search for specific and dynamically learnt MAC addresses or V-LAN entries
in the filtering database of an Ethernet switch unit. If the specified entry is present, the
associated destination port is displayed. When required, such an entry can be deleted
from the filtering database. This feature is only applicable to the ESW4_E14 option
card. For more information, refer the Metropolis
®
AMU User Operations Guide.
Port Security by S-MAC Address based Access List
Users can lock or unlock an Ethernet switch port. On a locked port, the automatic
address learning feature is disabled and all frames of the source MAC address that do
not appear in the access list are dropped. An access list from the filtering database of
the Ethernet switch is used. Before a frame is allowed to enter a locked port, the
source MAC address with the proper V-LAN number and port number must be present
in the filtering database.
Flushing the Filtering Database
When required, the user can delete all dynamically learnt addresses from the filtering
database of an Ethernet unit. For more information about this procedure, refer the
Metropolis® AMU User Operations Guide. This feature is only applicable to the
