transmitted on the port. The error frames are not counted in.

Multicast:

Displays the number of good multicast packets received or

 

transmitted on the port. The error frames are not counted in.

packets) that are over 1023 bytes.

Collisions:

Displays the number of collisions experienced by a port during

 

packet transmissions.

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 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:
