CHAPTER 20
Configuration: MAC Table
20.1 Overview
This section provides information for MAC Table in Configuration.
The MAC Table screen (a MAC table is also known as a filtering database) shows how frames are
forwarded or filtered across the Switch’s ports. When a device (which may belong to a VLAN group)
sends a packet which is forwarded to a port on the Switch, the MAC address of the device is shown
on the Switch’s MAC Table. It also shows whether the MAC address is dynamic (learned by the
Switch) or static (manually entered in the Static MAC Forwarding screen).
20.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
The MAC Table screen (Section 20.2 on page 119) displays Static MAC, Filtering MAC, and Dynamic
