Displaying the Dynamic Address Table

Use the MAC Address > Dynamic (Show Dynamic MAC) page 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.
