Configuration Note 2. Layer 2 Switching Interfaces
Version 6.8 9 Mediant MSBR
2 Layer 2 Switching Interfaces
In the MSBR, the Layer 2 switching is hardware-based and uses the host's Media Access
Control (MAC) address from the host's network interface cards (NICs) to decide where to
forward frames. The MAC addresses that the MSBR acquires are used to build a MAC
Address table, also known as a ''CAM Table''. Layer 2 switching interfaces also support
high speed, low latency, and wire speed.
