Term Definition
Mac Address A unicast MAC address for which the switch has forwarding and or filtering information.
The format is 6 or 8 two-digit hexadecimal numbers that are separated by colons, for
example 01:23:45:67:89:AB. In an IVL system the MAC address will be displayed as
8 bytes.
Interface The port through which this address was learned.
Interface Index This object indicates the ifIndex of the interface table entry associated with this port.
Status The status of this entry. The meanings of the values are:
•Static—The value of the corresponding instance was added by the system or a user
when a static MAC filter was defined. It cannot be relearned.
•Learned—The value of the corresponding instance was learned by observing the source
MAC addresses of incoming traffic, and is currently in use.
•Management—The value of the corresponding instance (system MAC address) is also
the value of an existing instance of dot1dStaticAddress. It is identified with interface 0/
1. and is currently used when enabling VLANs for routing.
•Self—The value of the corresponding instance is the address of one of the switch’s
physical interfaces (the system’s own MAC address).
•GMRP Learned—The value of the corresponding was learned via GMRP and applies to
Multicast.
•Other—The value of the corresponding instance does not fall into one of the other
categories.
