Description
The MAC address table links the MAC destination address on incoming Ethernet frames with the port closest to the destination based on learning from the transit of earlier frames. This feature allows:
- Defining MAC aging time
- Setting Static MAC table entries
- Checking Dynamic MAC entry learning
Resolution
Resolution for SonicOS 7.X
This release includes significant user interface changes and many new features that are different from the SonicOS 6.5 and earlier firmware. The below resolution is for customers using SonicOS 7.X firmware.
Navigate to Device | Switch Network | Switches and then click on ARP.
To set MAC Aging Time:
The MAC Aging time specifies the time before an entry ages and is discarded from the MAC address table. The range is from 0 to 630; The default value is 300 seconds. Disabling MAC aging is not supported. This age specification applies to all VLANs.
To add static MAC Addresses:
1. Click on Add Static MAC Addresses and the following dialog box will appear.
2. Select the Port and VLAN ID along with the destination MAC address and click on OK.
To Check Dynamic MAC Address Learning:
The dynamic MAC address table lists currently learned MAC addresses and accompanying Port and VLAN IDs. The defined MAC Aging time determines how current this information is. This table provides details on the LAN supported by the Switch.
