Admin Tab - Forwarding Database
Switches store the addresses for all known devices in a forwarding database. This information is used to forward
traffic directly between the inbound and outbound ports. All the addresses learned by monitoring traffic are
stored in the dynamic address table. You can also manually configure static addresses that are bound to a
specific port.
Address Aging
Sets the aging time for entries in the forwarding database. The aging time is used to age out dynamically learned
forwarding information.
Aging Status. When enabled, dynamic MAC addresses are discarded after the Aging Interval has expired.
Aging Interval (secs) (10-1000000). This is the amount of time after which dynamic address table entries are
discarded.
Set the Aging Interval by entering the number of seconds into the text field provided.
Click Save Settings to save the changes.
Static Address Setting
A static address can be assigned to a specific interface on the Switch. Static addresses are bound to the
assigned interface and will not be moved. When a static address is seen on another interface, the address will be
ignored and will not be written to the address table.
Static Address Counts. The number of manually configured addresses. The Switch allows 1000 Static Address
Counts.
Interface. Port or LAG associated with the device assigned a static address.
