3- 9 Filtering Data Base
Filtering Data Base Configuration gathers many functions that cannot be categorized to some
function type, including MAC Table Information and Static MAC Learning.
MAC table
Frame switching is based upon the DMAC address contained in the frame. The switch builds
up a table that maps MAC addresses to switch ports for knowing which ports the frames
should go to (based upon the DMAC address in the frame). This table contains both static
and dynamic entries. The static entries are configured by the network administrator if the
administrator wants to do a fixed mapping between the DMAC address and switch ports.
The frames also contain a MAC address (SMAC address) that shows the MAC address of the
equipment sending the frame. The SMAC address is used by the switch to automatically
update the MAC table with these dynamic MAC addresses. Dynamic entries are removed
from the MAC table if no frame with the corresponding SMAC address has been seen after a
configurable age time

The MAC Address Table is configured on this page. Set timeouts for entries in the dynamic
MAC Table and configure the static MAC table here.
