Switch MAC-address database is a routing table of MAC-layer which contains
information on how the packet should be delivered to its destination (dst). Each
switching group has an independent database. Records in the database are
formed automatically based on the source address of the packet which was
received by one of the interfaces included into a switching group.
Moreover, the database always contains records corresponding with interfaces
included into the switching group. These records are called local records. Each
record has its life span. If, during this life span, none of the interfaces have
received a packet with a source address from this record, this record is deleted
from the database. By default, life span is five minutes. To change this parameter,
the following command can be used:
switch dead-interval <DEAD_INTERVAL_IN_SECONDS>
To start/stop/restart the switch, the following command can be used:
switch {start | stop | restart}
To clear the switch configuration please use the following command:
switch {destroy}
To view the switch statistics please use the following command:

The statistics shows the information on forwarded/flooded/dropped packets and
records of the switch MAC-address table.
