Index
Displays the index for the dynamic MAC address table.
Port
Select the port to which the entry refers.
VID
Displays the VLAN ID corresponding to the MAC address.
MAC Address
Displays the MAC addresses that the Switch learned from a specific port.
Type
Displays the MAC addresses entry is static or dynamic.
Click Search to search specific MAC address from MAC address table.
MAC Aging Settings
To set aging time of whole MAC address table.
MAC Aging
Time
Administrator can move Dynamic MAC address entry as Static MAC
address entry. Static MAC address will not take effect by timeout timer in
global settings. Default value is 5 minutes.

LLDP
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is the IEEE 802.1AB standard for Switches to advertise
their identity, major capabilities, and neighbors on the 802 LAN. LLDP allows users to view the
discovered information to identify system topology and detect faulty configurations on the LAN.
LLDP is essentially a neighbor discovery protocol that uses Ethernet connectivity to advertise
information to devices on the same LAN and store information about the network. The information
transmitted in LLDP advertisements flow in one direction only; from one device to its neighbors.
This information allows the device to quickly identify a variety of other devices, resulting in a LAN
that interoperates smoothly and efficiently.
LLDP transmits information as packets called LLDP Data Units (LLDPDUs). A single LLDPDU is
transmitted within a single 802.3 Ethernet frame. A basic LLDPDU consists of a set of Type-
Length-Value elements (TLV), each of which contains information about the device. A single
LLDPDU contains multiple TLVs. TLVs are short information elements that communicate complex
data. Each TLV advertises a single type of information.
