Switch > MAC Table

Use this screen to configure the MAC address table for the switch. The MAC table is used to switch frames to the correct ports. Before the MAC table is populated, a frame is broadcast to all ports. Learning mode is enabled, then the MAC table is populated automatically.

Switch > MAC Table

Global ATU Setting  This is a global MAC address table setting. Select the desired settings, then click Apply Global Setting.

•• Address Learning  This indicates if the switch should automatically learn the MAC address of packets. Select Enable Learning (default) or Disable Learning.

•• Age timer  Detects and purges obsolete table entries, such as when a connected device moves from one port to another, by checking the idle timeout value of the entries. The range is from 1 to 300 seconds. You can also disable this feature. The default is 300 seconds.

Static MAC Entry  Besides dynamically learned entries, the MAC table can also contain static, user-defined entries that you enter here. The MAC Address field shows the destination MAC address. The check boxes specify the output ports (1-5 and Wireless) where a packet is routed if its destination MAC address matches the MAC Address field. You can specify more than one output port. To add an entry, enter the destination MAC address, select the output port(s), and click Add New Entry. The new entry will then appear in the Status Address Table list. Note that static MAC entries are not affected by the Age timer and can only be deleted manually.

Static Address Table  This lists the static MAC address entries and their port vector settings. To delete an entry, select its check box and click Delete Selected Entry.

Address Table Dump  A complete dump of the MAC address table, including both learned and static entries. If a topology change occurs, click Refresh to remove the learned entries and force the entries to be relearned. At most 64 entries are displayed per page. If there are more than 64 entries, click Get Next Page to see more entries.
