Switching Database Commands
This section contains instructions for managing the Switching
Database with the Administrative Interface. Type <switch-db> to
view related commands.
The Switching Database consists of 8192 entries. Each active entry
contains the information relevant to a workstation, characterized by
its Ethernet MAC Address. Each entry contains the following
information:
❑ Entry
Signifies the index in the Switching Database Table.
❑ LOCK
If on (denoted as a +), the entry will not be deleted by the
switch aging process (static entry). If off (denoted as a -), this is
a dynamic entry that may be automatically deleted by the
switch aging process if a packet with this source MAC address
is not received during an aging time period.
❑ MGMT (not user configurable)
If on (denoted as a +), the entry is a system address. Such
addresses are the switch’s individual and group addresses, as
well as other addresses added by the management system. If
off (denoted as a -), the entry contains the MAC address of a
station on the connected network.
❑ DPORT
The destination port to which frames with the stated address
will be forwarded.
