MAC Address Table screen

The MAC Address Table screen (Figure 45) allows you to view MAC addresses that the switch has discovered or to search for a specific MAC address.

The MAC Address Table screen also operates in conjunction with the Port Mirroring Configuration screen. When you configure a switch for MAC address-based port mirroring, you can use the MAC Address Table screen to find an address and enter the address directly from this screen. You can enter addresses from either screen, but you must return to the Port Mirroring Configuration screen to activate the feature (see “Port Mirroring Configuration screen” on page 139).

Choose MAC Address Table (or press m) from the Switch Configuration Menu screen to open the MAC Address Table screen (Figure 45).

Note: This screen does not refresh dynamically to show new entries. To refresh the screen, press [Ctrl]-R to return to the previous menu.
