Description

Use this screen to sort through the switch’s MAC address table and view the addresses the switch has learned. The switch uses this table when making forwarding decisions to avoid broadcasting traffic over every port. You can search this table by MAC address or by port.

VLAN (port-based)/VLAN ID (tag-based): When the switch is running port-based or tag-based VLANs, the address table associates MAC addresses with specific VLANs. Use the z to select a VLAN.

Select Filter: Use the zto select how to view the address table. You can sort by <MAC address> or by <Port>.

Enter MAC Address: Use this field to search for a specific MAC address in the switch’s table.

Port Number: Use the zto select a port and display the MAC addresses seen on the specified port. This search is useful for monitoring which ports a device is using, or which devices are using one port.
