Defining the Forwarding Database and Static Routes Section 14. Defining the Forwarding Database and Static Routes Packets addressed to destinations stored in either the Static or Dynamic databases are immediately forwarded to the port. The Dynamic MAC Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN, or MAC Address, whereas MAC addresses are dynamically learned as packets from sources that arrive at the device. Static addresses are configured manually. An address becomes associated with a port by learning the port from the frame's source address, but if a frame that is addressed to a destination MAC address is not associated with a port, that frame is flooded to all relevant VLAN ports. To prevent the bridging table from overflowing, a dynamic MAC address, from which no traffic arrives for a set period, is erased. This section contains information for defining both static and dynamic forwarding database entries, and includes the following topics: • Defining Static Forwarding Database Entries • Defining Dynamic Forwarding Database Entries • Configuring Routing Page 183

Section 14.Defining the Forwarding Database and

Static Routes

Packets addressed to destinations stored in either the Static or Dynamic databases are immediately forwarded to

the port. The Dynamic MAC Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN, or MAC Address, whereas MAC

addresses are dynamically learned as packets from sources that arrive at the device. Static addresses are config-

ured manually.

An address becomes associated with a port by learning the port from the frame’s source address, but if a frame

that is addressed to a destination MAC address is not associated with a port, that frame is flooded to all relevant

VLAN ports. To prevent the bridging table from overflowing, a dynamic MAC address, from which no traffic arrives

for a set period, is erased.
