5.4 MAC Address The main function of the switch is forwarding the packets to the correct ports based on the destination MAC address of the packets. Address Table contains the port-based MAC address information, which is the base for the switch to forward packets quickly. The entries in the Address Table can be updated by auto-learning or configured manually. Most the entries are generated and updated by auto-learning. In the stable networks, the static MAC address entries can facilitate the switch to reduce broadcast packets and enhance the efficiency of packets forwarding remarkably. The address filtering feature allows the switch to filter the undesired packets and forbid its forwarding so as to improve the network security. The types and the features of the MAC Address Table are listed as the following: Type Static Address Table Dynamic Address Table Filtering Address Table Configuration Aging out Way Being kept after Relationship between the reboot bound MAC address and (if the configuration the port is saved) Manually No Yes configuring The bound MAC address can not be learned by the other ports in the same VLAN. Automatically Yes No learning The bound MAC address can be learned by the other ports in the same VLAN. Manually No Yes - configuring Table 5-1 Types and features of Address Table This function includes four submenus: Address Table, Static Address, Dynamic Address and Filtering Address. 5.4.1 Address Table On this page, you can view all the information of the Address Table.
