MAC Address Table
The MAC address table contains address information that the Switch uses to forward traffic
between the inbound and outbound ports. All MAC addresses in the address table are associated
with one or more ports. When the Switch receives traffic on a port, it searches the Ethernet
switching table for the MAC address of the destination. If the MAC address is not found, the
traffic is flooded out all of the other ports associated with the VLAN. All of the MAC address that
the Switch learns by monitoring traffic are stored in the dynamic address. A static address allows
you to manually enter a MAC address to configure a specific port and VLAN.
Static MAC Address
The address table lists the destination MAC address, the associated VLAN ID, and port number
associated with the address. When you specify a static MAC address, you set the MAC address to
a VLAN and a port; thus it makes an entry into its forwarding table. These entries are then used to
forward packets through the Switch. Static MAC addresses along with the Switch's port security
allow only devices in the MAC address table on a port to access the Switch.
