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.
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.
