Dynamic Address - Planet Networking & Communication WSGW-24020 User Manual

4.12.3 Dynamic Address

The Dynamic Address Table contains the MAC addresses learned by monitoring the source address for traffic entering the
switch. When the destination address for inbound traffic is found in the database, the packets intended for that address are
forwarded directly to the associated port. Otherwise, the traffic is flooded to all ports.
The Dynamic Address screen (see figure 4-72) 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.
The page contains the following fields:
Address Aging
