Displaying and
Setting MAC
Addresses
A media access control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned to
every network card by the manufacturer. The AT-S100 software keeps
track of the MAC addresses of devices that have passed traffic through
the switch in a MAC address table. There is an 8K limit of MAC addresses
that you can store in the table. As a result, the MAC address table is
flushed automatically in time intervals determined by the ageing time.
In addition, you can enter a MAC address into the table that cannot be
flushed. This type of address is called a static MAC address. You may
want to assign a static MAC address when you have a closed LAN that is
not connected to the Internet.
The following sections explain how to display and set the MAC address
table:
