Address Table Settings

The switch stores the addresses of known devices. This information is used to route traffic directly between the inbound and outbound ports. The addresses learned by monitoring traffic are stored in the dynamic address table. You may also manually configure static addresses that are bound to a specific port.

Displaying the Address Table

The Dynamic Address Table contains the MAC addresses learned by monitoring the source address of traffic entering the switch. When the destination address for inbound traffic is found in the database, packets intended for that address are forwarded directly to the associated port. Otherwise, the traffic is broadcast to all ports.

Command Usage

•Display entries in the dynamic address table by selecting an interface (either port or trunk), MAC address, or VLAN.

•Sort the information displayed based on interface (port or trunk), MAC address, or VLAN.

Web Interface

Click Address Table/Dynamic Addresses. Specify the search type (i.e., Interface, MAC Address, or VLAN), the method of sorting the displayed addresses, and then click “Query.”
