bound to it.

MAC Address Table
Switching of frames is based on the destination MAC address contained in
the frame. The Managed Switch builds up a table that maps MAC addresses
to switch ports for knowing which ports the frames should go to (based upon
the destination MAC 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 destination MAC
address and switch ports.
The frames also contain a MAC address (source MAC address), which shows the
MAC address of the equipment sending the frame. The source MAC 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 source MAC address has been seen after a configurable
age time.
