MAC Address Table
The MAC Address Table contains information about unicast entries for which the switch has
forwarding and/or filtering information. This information is used by the transparent bridging
function in determining how to propagate a received frame.
To access the MAC Address Table page:
1. Click Switching > Address Table > Advanced > Address Table in the navigation tree.
You can search for MAC Addresses by VLAN ID, MAC Address, or interface:
Search by VLAN ID. Select VLAN ID from the menu, and enter the VLAN ID, for
example, 100. Then click the Go button. If the address exists, the entry will be displayed
as the first entry, followed by the remaining (greater) MAC addresses.
Search by MAC Address. Select MAC Address from the menu and enter a six-byte
hexadecimal MAC address in two-digit groups separated by colons. Then click Go. If the
address exists, that entry will be displayed. An exact match is required.
Search by Interface. Select Interface from the menu, enter the interface ID in g1, g2...
format. Then click Go. If any entries with learned on that interface exist, they are
displayed.
Note: IEEE 802.1d recommends a default of 300 seconds, which is the factory default.
