Configuring Switch Information 315The following is an example of the CLI commands:Configuring Address TablesMAC addresses are stored in either the Static Address or the Dynamic Address databases. A packetaddressed to a destination stored in one of the databases is forwarded immediately to the port.The Dynamic Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN, and MAC Address. MAC addresses aredynamically learned as packets from sources arrive at the device. Addresses are associated with ports bylearning the ports from the frames source address. Frames addressed to a destination MAC address thatis not associated with any port, are flooded to all ports of the relevant VLAN. Static addresses aremanually configured. In order to prevent the bridging table from overflowing, dynamic MAC addresses,from which no traffic is seen for a certain period, are erased.To open the Address Tables page, click Switch → Address Tables in the tree view.This section contians the following topics:• "Defining Static Addresses" on page 315• "Viewing Dynamic Addresses" on page 318Defining Static AddressesThe Static MAC Address page contains a list of static MAC addresses.
