4.2.5.1 Dynamic MAC Learning
Dynamic MAC
Switch Management >MAC Address > Dynamic MAC Learning> Dynamic Mac page is used to display the MAC addresses
learned by monitoring the source address for traffic entering the switch. When the destination address for inbound traffic is
found in the database, the packets intended for that address are forwarded directly to the associated port. Otherwise, the traffic
is flooded to all ports.
Clear Dynamic MAC
Switch Management >MAC Address > Dynamic MAC Learning> Clear Dynamic MAC page is used to remove any learned
entries from the forwarding database.
Clear by All entries can be cleared; or you can clear the entries for a specific MAC address, all the entries in a VLAN, or all
the entries associated with a port or group.
Configure Aging
Switch Management >MAC Address > Dynamic MAC Learning> Configure Aging page is used to set the aging time for entries
in the dynamic address table. The aging time is used to age out dynamically learned forwarding information.
