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 Advanced Setup > Forwarding Database > Dynamic Addresses. The Dynamic Addresses Page
opens.
