CAUTION: Traffic Statistics settings will be restored to defaults if the
Switch is restarted and you have not selected Save Config
from the main menu and saved your running configuration to
non-volatile memory.
5.4 MAC Address
The Switch forwards traffic based on the Destination MAC Address contained in the
Packet Header. To accelerate this process the Switch maintains a MAC MAC Table, the
properties of which can be adjusted to meet the needs of the Network. By default the
MAC MAC Table is updated dynamically as Data crosses the Switch, this combined with
an Aging Timeout allows the Switch to dynamically manage the MAC MAC Table. The
Switch offers multiple options for configuration to meet the needs of your Network,
see the table below:
The types and the features of the MAC MAC Table are listed as the following:
Type Configuration Auto Aging MAC Address
kept after reboot Relationship between the
bound MAC Address and
the Port
Dynamic
MAC Automatic Yes (Note:
Auto Aging can
be disabled
but it is not
recommended) No The learned MAC address
can be learned by the other
Ports in the same VLAN.
Static
MAC Manual
Configuration No Yes (Note: The
configuration
must be saved to
non-volatile RAM) The static MAC address
cannot be learned by or
added to other Ports in the
same VLAN.
MAC
Filtering Manual
Configuration No Yes (Note: The
configuration
must be saved to
non-volatile RAM) The filtered MAC address
cannot be learned by or
added to other Ports in
the same VLAN. Also if the
device is moved to a new
port the port will not be
allowed to forward Data.
