5.4 MAC Address

The main function of the switch is forwarding the packets to the correct ports based on the

destination MAC address of the packets. Address Table contains the port-based MAC address

information, which is the base for the switch to forward packets quickly. The entries in the Address

Table can be updated by auto-learning or configured manually. Most the entries are generated and

updated by auto-learning. In the stable networks, the static MAC address entries can enhance the

efficiency of packets forwarding remarkably, and the address filtering feature allows the switch to

filter the undesired packets and forbid its forwarding so as to improve the network security.

The types and the features of the MAC Address Table are listed as the following:

Type Configuration Way Aging out after

Relationship between the address

and the port

Static Manually binding No Being kept The MAC address can not be learned

by the other ports in the same VLAN.

Dynamic Auto-learning Yes Clear The MAC address can be learned by

the other ports in the same VLAN.
