Browse MAC Address Sequentially
This allows the switch’s dynamic MAC address forwarding table to be viewed. When the switch learns an association between a MAC address and a port number, it makes an entry into its forwarding table. These entries are then used to forward packets through the switch.
To view the MAC address forwarding table:
Click the Browse MAC Address Sequentially link on the Address Table menu under Network Monitoring:
