an entry consists of a VLAN ID and MAC address pair. Entries may contain data for more than one protocol.
Use this screen to display the MFDB information for a specific entry. To display all of the entries for a particular protocol use one
of the following menus:
MAC Filter Summary - Static MAC address filtering entries

two-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, for example 00:01:23:43:45:67:89:AB. The first two two-digit
hexadecimal numbers are the VLAN ID and the remaining numbers are the MAC address. Then click on the
"Search" button. If the address exists, that entry will be displayed. An exact match is required.
