MAC Table

This area of the Catalyst Filter Tables contains a list of MAC filter entries. Double-click a table entry to access an entry-specific Filter MAC Table view. This view allows you to modify the information presented in the table. The MAC Table and its corresponding entry-specific views provide the following information:

Module

Displays the unique integer identifier of the module where this port is located. This number is the same as the slot number in which the module is installed.

Port

Displays the unique integer identifier of this port within its module. This value is determined by the location of the port on the module.

Address

Displays the MAC address to which the source and destination MAC addresses of packets are compared. If the source or destination MAC address equals this value, a match occurs. If “Deny” is specified in the Type field and a match occurs, the packet is dropped. If at least one MAC address filter is specified with “Permit” and a match does not occur, the packet is dropped.

Type

Displays the type of action this filter will cause. Selecting “Invalid” removes this filter from the table. Selecting “Deny” causes packets whose source or destination address matches the MAC address specified in the Address field to be dropped. Selecting “Permit” causes all packets whose source or destination address does not match the address specified in the Address field to be dropped.
