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