Address Table
Packets addressed to destinations stored in either the Static or Dynamic databases are immediately
forwarded to the port. The Dynamic MAC Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN, or
MAC Address. Dynamic MAC addresses are learned from packets from sources that arrive at the
device, while Static addresses are configured manually.
An address becomes associated with a port by learning the port from the frame’s source address
but if a frame that is addressed to a destination MAC address is not associated with a port, that
frame is flooded to all relevant VLAN ports. To prevent the bridging table from overflowing, a
dynamic MAC address, from which no traffic arrives for a set period, is erased.
The Address Table menu contains the following options:
• “Basic”
• “Advanced”
