Page 22: Switch Operation
Switch Operation Address Table The SMC8506T is implemented with a 24K MAC address table. This large address table is used to store the address information of nodes in the network, including MAC address, port no, etc. This information comes from the learning process of this gigabit switch.. - Page 23 Therefore, no error packets occurrence, it is the best choice when a network needs efficiency and stability. The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet- header, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability.
