Displaying the Unicast Address Table

The Address Table contains the MAC addresses and VLAN identifier associated with each port (that is, the source port associated with the address and VLAN), sorted by MAC address or VLAN ID. You can search for a specific address, clear the entire address table, or information associated with a specific address, or set the aging time for deleting inactive entries. The information displayed in the Address Table is indicated in the following figure and table.
