Configuration
Filtering Data Base Configuration gathers many functions, including MAC Table
Information and Static MAC Learning, which cannot be categorized to some function
type.
MAC table
Switching of frames is based upon the DMAC address contained in the frame. The
switch builds a table that mapped MAC addresses to switch ports to know 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). It 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 has been seen after a configurable age time.
The MAC Address Table is configured on this page. Set timeouts for entries in the
dynamic and configure the static MAC table here.
