3.6.3 Filtering MAC Address
A filtering MAC address excludes a device from being accessed through the Switch. All the packets taking the filtering MAC
address as their destination will be discarded. The filtering MAC address is applicable to all the switch ports. The configured
filtering MAC address can neither be added to static MAC address table, nor be bound by switch ports.
The screen in
Figure 3-18 appears.

3.6.4 Dynamic Binding
The Dynamic Address Table contains 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.
The Dynamic Address screen (see figure 3-19) contains parameters for querying information in the Dynamic MAC Address
Table, including the interface type, MAC addresses, VLAN, and table storing. The Dynamic MAC Address table contains
information about the aging time before a dynamic MAC address is erased, and includes parameters for querying and
viewing the Dynamic MAC Address table. The Dynamic MAC Address table contains address parameters by which packets
are directly forwarded to the ports. The Dynamic Address Table can be sorted by interface, VLAN, and MAC Address.
