N-Tron 710FX2 user manual Bridging Show MAC by Port

Bridging – Show MAC by Port

This feature shows the MAC addresses of devices connected to each switch port and the IP Addresses associated with the MACs. The browser page ‗View MAC by Port‘ shows the MAC for the device found on each port, and the IP for the MAC presented if available. If more than one device is on that port, then the lowest alphanumeric of those MAC addresses is shown and underlined.

The ‗Active IP Probe‘ field is configurable using the ‗Modify‘ button, and also displays the existing Enabled or Disabled status of this feature. The default is disabled. When disabled the switch generates no ethernet traffic for this purpose, but can still present some information gathered passively.

The ‗IP‘ field shows an Auto-detected or manually entered IP address. If there is a MAC address for the port and an IP address was not discovered there is an ‗Assign IP‘ button to allow the user to enter an IP address. If ‗Active IP Probe‘ is enabled, manually entered IP values are underlined and validated. A validated IP for that MAC is presented in green and if validation fails the IP will be red and underlined. Note that some devices do not have an IP Address, and that some devices that do have an IP Address may not respond to the methods used to detect their IP Address.

Invoking the ‗Assign IP‘ button on the example above, the administrator will be presented with a form in which to enter a manually assigned IP, as below:
