Cisco Small Business SG200 Series 8-port Smart Switch 127
MAC Address Tables
This chapter describes the static configuration and dynamic learning of Media
Access Control (MAC) addresses into the filtering database of the switch. The
switch searches its filtering database to determine which port a packet is to be
forwarded to. The filtering database is also referred as the bridging table in this
document. The search is based on the VLAN and destination MAC address of the
packet. If search does not result with a matching entry, the switch floods the
packets to the VLAN excluding the ingress port.
It includes the following topics:
• Configuring Static MAC Addresses
• Configuring the Aging Time for Dynamic Addresses
• Dynamic MAC Addresses
Configuring Static MAC Addresses
The Static Addresses page displays a list of MAC addresses that are manually
configured into the bridging table of the switch. A static MAC address is also
associated with a VLAN and a port.
To add static MAC address entries:
STEP 1 Click MAC Address Tables > Static Addresses in the navigation window.
STEP 2 Click Add.
STEP 3 Enter the parameters:
• VLAN ID—Select the VLAN in which the device with the static MAC address
resides.
• Interface—Specify the port/LAG in which the device with the static MAC
addresses can be reached.
