Admin Tab - Dynamic Address
The Dynamic Address Table contains the MAC addresses learned by monitoring the source address for traffic entering the switch. When the destination address for inbound traffic is found in the database, the packets intended for that address are forwarded directly to the associated port. Otherwise, the traffic is flooded to all ports.
The Dynamic Address screen contains parameters for querying information in the Dynamic MAC Address Table, including the interface type, MAC addresses, VLAN, and table storing. The Dynamic MAC Address table contains information about the aging time before a dynamic MAC address is erased, and includes parameters for querying and viewing the Dynamic MAC Address table. The Dynamic MAC Address table contains address parameters by which packets are directly forwarded to the ports. The Dynamic Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN, and MAC Address.
Address Aging. Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) the MAC address remains in the Dynamic MAC
Address table before it times out, if no traffic from the source is detected. The default value is 300 seconds.
Clear Table. If checked, clears the MAC address table.
