Unicast Forwarding Database Configuration

Follow the procedures in the “Port Configuration” and “Advanced Port Configuration” sections of this chapter.

Unicast Forwarding Database Configuration

The Unicast Forwarding Database Configuration Menu allows you to view and search for addresses in the IntraCore 8000’s MAC Forwarding Table. It also provides options for displaying MAC addresses and IP/MAC binding by individual port or by VLAN.

The MAC Forwarding Table is a table of node addresses that the IntraCore 8000 automatically builds by “learning.” It performs this task by monitoring the packets that pass through the IntraCore 8000, checking the source and destination addresses, and then recording the source address information in the table.

The IntraCore 8000 uses the information in this table to decide whether a frame should be forwarded to a particular destination port or “flooded” to all ports other than the received port. Each entry consists of three parts: the MAC address of the device, the port number on which it was received, and the VLAN number.

KNote: The MAC address table can hold a maximum of 8,192 entries.

When you type d in the Configuration Menu, the Unicast Forwarding Database Configuration Menu appears, as shown in Figure 3-17.
