Configure MAC Forwarding Table Parameters
This menu allows you to view and search for addresses in the
IntraSwitch’s MAC Forwarding Table.
The MAC Forwarding Table is a table of node addresses that the
IntraSwitch automatically builds by listening to and learning the
information that is broadcast when a new node logs on. The
switch checks the source and destination addresses as packets
pass through the switch and records the information in the
table. The switch uses the information in this table to decide
whether a frame should be forwarded or filtered.
∆ Note: The IntraSwitch’s MAC address table
holds a maximum of 1024 entries.
To access the MAC Forwarding Table Parameters Menu, type f
from the Configuration Menu. The following menu appears:
