Configure MAC Forwarding Table Parameters
This menu allows you to view and search for addresses in the IntraSwitch 5308FL’s MAC Forwarding Table.

The IntraSwitch 5308FL checks the source and destination addresses as packets pass through the unit and records the information in the table. The IntraSwitch 5308FL uses the information in this table to decide whether a frame should be forwarded or filtered.
ΔNote: The IntraSwitch 5308FL’s MAC address table holds a maximum of 1024 entries.
