Configure MAC Forwarding Table Parameters
This menu allows you to view and search for addresses in the
IntraSwitch 5308FL’s MAC Forwarding Table.
The MAC Forwarding Table is a table of node addresses that the
IntraSwitch 5308FL automatically builds by listening to and
learning the information that is broadcast when a new node
logs on.
The IntraSwitch 5308FL checks the source and destination
addresses as packets pass through the unit and records the
information in the table. The IntraSwitch 5308FL uses the
information in this table to decide whether a frame should be
forwarded or filtered.
∆
Note: The IntraSwitch 5308FL’s MAC address
table holds a maximum of
1024 entries.
