Chapter 6:MAC Address Table

Section I: Basic Operations

70

The top section displays unicast addresses while the middle
section displays multicast addresses. The options function the
same in both sections, and are described below. You can select
only one option at a time.

The default selection is the View All option for multicast MAC
addresses. To avoid displaying the wrong MAC addresses, check to
be sure that you have selected the desired unicast or multicast
address option before clicking a View button.

View All
This selection displays all dynamic addresses learned on the ports
of the switch and all static addresses that have been assigned to
the ports.

View Static
This selection displays just the static addresses assigned to the
ports on the switch.

View Dynamic
This selection displays just the dynamic addresses learned on the
ports on the switch.

View MAC Addresses on Port
Displays the dynamic and static MAC addresses of a particular
port. You can specify more than one port at a time.

View MAC Addresses for VLAN
Displays the static and dynamic addresses learned on the tagged
and untagged ports of a specific VLAN. You specify the VLAN by
entering the VLAN ID number. You can specify only one VLAN at a
time.

View MAC Address
Displays the port number on which a MAC address was assigned
or learned.

In some situations, you might want to know which port a
particular MAC address was learned. You could display the MAC
address table and scroll through the list looking for the MAC
address. But if the switch is part of a large network, finding the
address could prove difficult.

The procedure in this section offers an easier way. You can specify
the MAC address and let the management software automatically
locate the port on the switch where the device is connected.

4. After you select an option, click View.

The columns in the MAC address page are defined below.

MAC Address - The static or dynamic unicast MAC address.

Port(s) - The port on which the address was learned or assigned.
The MAC address with port “CPU” is the address of the switch.
