The MAC Address Learning Mode can be used to define the learning and forwarding
method for received ethernet frames.
• automaticModeOn: The source address of the frame will be automatically learned
(i.e. dynamic MAC address entry is created or updated within the forwarding
table). If there exists already a dynamic or static MAC address matching the
destination address and vlanId of the frame, it will be forwarded according to the
table entry; otherwise the frame will be forwarded to all output ports of the Virtual
Switch, except the port where the frame was received.
• automaticModeOff: Received frames are not treated as input of the automatic
learning process.
The packets will be handled in the following way:
– If there exists not a dynamic or static MAC address matching the source
address and vlanId of the frame, the frame will be dropped and trapped into the
CPU. A trap control reduces the traffic to the CPU to one MAC Address per
second, which will be displayed in the Mismatched MAC Address List.
– If there exists a dynamic or static MAC address matching the destination
address and vlanId of the frame, it will be forwarded according to the table
entry.
