MAC Address Table
The MAC address table records the mapping between MAC addresses and ports, as well as VLANs to
which the ports belong. When forwarding packets, the device queries the MAC address table based on
the destination MAC address of each packet. If the MAC address table contains an entry that matches
the MAC address of the packet, the device directly forwards the packet through the egress port in the
entry. If the MAC address table does not contain any entry that matches the MAC address of the packet,
the device broadcasts the packet through all ports in the corresponding VLAN except the receive port.
On the MAC address table configuration page, you can configure parameters shown in the following
figure.
Aging Configuration
: You can configure the aging time of the MAC address table and disable
aging.
