The following table describes the information available for each entry in the address table.

Specifies the VLAN ID on which the IGMP Snooping Querier is

 

administratively enabled and for which VLAN exists in the VLAN database.

 

 

MAC Address

A unicast MAC address for which the switch has forwarding and/or filtering

 

information. The format is a six-byte MAC address with each byte separated

 

by colons. For example, 00:0F:89:AB:CD:EF.

 

 

Interface

The port where this address was learned: that is, this field displays the port

 

through which the MAC address can be reached.

 

 

Status

The status of this entry. The possible values are:

 

Static: The entry was added when a static MAC filter was defined.

 

Learned: The entry was learned by observing the source MAC

 

addresses of incoming traffic, and is currently in use.

 

Management: The system MAC address, which is identified with

 

interface c1.

Dynamic Address Configuration

Use the Dynamic Addresses page to set the amount of time to keep a learned MAC address entry in the forwarding database. The forwarding database contains static entries, which are never aged out, and dynamically learned entries, which are removed if they are not updated within a given time.

To access the Configuration page, click Switching > Address Table > Advanced > Dynamic Addresses.

To configure the Dynamic Address setting:

1.Specify the number of seconds the forwarding database should wait before deleting a learned entry that has not been updated. IEEE 802.1D-1990 recommends a default of 300 seconds. You may enter any number of seconds between 10 and 1000000. The factory default is 300.
