MAC Address Table Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the Media Access Control (MAC) address table on your switch. A MAC address table is a Layer 2 forwarding table that stores MAC addresses learned from other devices. Your switch maintains a MAC address table for Layer 2 data forwarding. Each workstation and server has a unique MAC address. When the switch exchanges data with connected workstations and servers, the switch records their MAC addresses, access interfaces, and VLAN IDs to facilitate unicast forwarding.
