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 to every port.

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

Filter: Determines how to view the address table (press z). You can sort by <MAC address> or by <Port>.

Enter MAC address: Searches for a specific MAC address in the switch’s table.

Port number: Selects a port (press z). This displays the MAC addresses seen on the specified port, which is useful for monitoring which ports a device is using, or which devices are using one port.

DISPLAY: Displays the results after you enter a MAC address or choose a port.
