4.7 Forwarding and Filtering
The frames of Ethernet Packets 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 frames with the corresponding SMAC address
have been seen after a configurable age time.
4.7.1 Dynamic MAC Table
Entries in the MAC Table are shown on this page. The Dynamic MAC Table contains up to 8192 entries, and is sorted first
by VLAN ID, then by MAC address. You can view all of the dynamic MAC addresses learned by the listed port.
