You can search for specificMAC addresses by the address itself or by port number. The switch learnsaddresses dynamically from incoming packets and builds a table of theseaddresses along with their associated ports. There are three types ofMAC addresses in the forwarding table:• Dynamic MAC addresses, which are dynamically learned by theswitch and removed automatically from the forwarding table. Theseaddresses are removed due to non-use based on the time perioddefined by the Forwarding Table Aging Time parameter in the SwitchConfiguration Menu.• Static MAC addresses, which are entered manually, stored innonvolatile memory and automatically placed in the forwarding table.• System MAC addresses, which are set by the system software andcannot be modified. Each switch port has a permanent system MACaddress assigned to it.For 10/100 ports, if Auto-negotiation Enable is set to"No", the Full Duplex and Port Speed parameters canbe configured. For Gigabit Ethernet ports, if Auto-ne-gotiation Enable is set to "No", the Flow Control En-able parameter can be configured.For 10/100 ports, if Auto-negotiation Enable is set to"Yes", the Full Duplex and Port Speed fields disappearand the system automatically configures these func-tions. For Gigabit Ethernet ports, if Auto-negotiationEnable is set to "Yes", the Flow Control Enable fielddisappears and the system automatically configuresthis function.
