MAC Address Table

The MAC address table contains address information that the Switch uses to forward traffic between the inbound and outbound ports. All MAC addresses in the address table are associated with one or more ports. When the Switch receives traffic on a port, it searches the Ethernet switching table for the MAC addresses of the destination. If the MAC address is not found, the traffic is flooded out all of the other ports associated with the VLAN. All of the MAC address that the Switch learns by monitoring traffic are stored in the Dynamic address. A Static address allows you to manually enter a MAC address to configure a specific port and VLAN.

Static MAC Address

The address table lists the destination MAC address, the associated VLAN ID, and port number associated with the address. When a Static MAC Address is specified, it sets the MAC address to a VLAN or port and makes the entry in its forwarding table. These entries are then used to forward packets through the Switch. Static MAC addresses along with the Switch’s port security allow only devices in the MAC address table on a port to access the Switch.
