Mac Address - D-Link DES-6500 - Switch User Manual

MAC Address

This allows the Switch's dynamic MAC address forwarding
table to be viewed. When the Switch learns an association
between a MAC address and a port number, it makes an
entry into its forwarding table. These entries are then used to
forward packets through the Switch.

Monitoring menu, click the MAC Address link:
