3- 9 Filtering Data Base
Filtering Data Base Configuration gathers many functions, including MAC Table Information,
Static MAC Learning, which cannot be categorized to some function type.
MAC table
Switching of frames is based upon the DMAC address contained in the frame. The switch
builds up a table that maps MAC addresses to switch ports for knowing which ports the
frames should go to (based upon the DMAC address in the frame). This table contains both
static and dynamic entries. The static entries are configured by the network administrator if
the administrator wants to do a fixed mapping between the DMAC address and switch ports.
The frames also contain a MAC address (SMAC address ), which shows the MAC address of
the equipment sending the frame. The SMAC address is used by the switch to automatically
update the MAC table with these dynamic MAC addresses. Dynamic entries are removed
from the MAC table if no frame with the corresponding SMAC address has been seen after a
configurable age time
