4.5 MAC Address Table
This 6-byte ID is called the MAC (Media Access Control) Ad-
dress. Every Ethernet data packet includes both source and
destination addresses.
These Fast Ethernet Switch models can automatically learn
and store up to 8K MAC addresses. The MAC address table is
volatile: it disappears when the switch is powered off or reset.
Note: When the network needs reconfiguration, we
recommend turning off the power first. After all
nodes have been moved, power on the switch to
rebuild the internal MAC address table.
