Defining Dynamic Forwarding Database Entries

The Dynamic Addresses page contains parameters for querying information in the Dynamic
MAC Address Table, including the interface type, MAC addresses, VLAN, and table storing. The
Dynamic MAC Address table contains information about the aging time before a dynamic MAC
address is erased, and includes parameters for querying and viewing the Dynamic MAC Address
table. The Dynamic MAC Address table contains address parameters by which packets are
directly forwarded to the ports. The Dynamic Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN,
and MAC Address.
To configure the Dynamic MAC Address table:
1. Click Layer 2 > Address Table > Dynamic Addresses.
Dynamic Addresses
The Dynamic Addresses page contains the following fields:
❏
Aging Interval (secs) — Specifies the amount of time in seconds the MAC address
remains in the Dynamic MAC Address table before it is timed out, if no traffic from the
source is detected. The default value is 300 seconds.
❏
Clear Table — Clears the Dynamic Addresses Table. The possible field values are:
◆
Checked — Clears the Dynamic Address Table.
◆
Unchecked — Maintains the Dynamic Address Table entries. This is the default
value.
❏
Interface — Defines the interface type by which the dynamic addresses are sorted.
There are two interface types from which to select:
◆
Port — Specifies the port number for which the forwarding database parameters
refer.
◆
LAG — The specific LAG number to which the forwarding database parameters
refer.
