3.13 MAC TABLE
Switching of frames is based upon the DMAC address contained in the frame. The switch builds up a table that maps MAC
addresses to switch ports for knowing which ports the frames should go to (based upon the DMAC address in the frame). This
table contains both static and dynamic entries. The static entries are configured by the network administrator if the administrator
wants to do a fixed mapping between the DMAC address and switch ports.
The frames also contain a MAC address (SMAC address) that shows the MAC address of the equipment sending the frame. The
SMAC address is used by the switch to automatically update the MAC table with these dynamic MAC addresses. Dynamic entries
are removed from the MAC table if no frames with the corresponding SMAC address have been seen after a configurable age time.
