6.3 Filter for MAC Addresses
This dialog allows you to display and edit address filters for the address table
(forwarding database). Address filters specify the way the data packets are
forwarded in the device based on the destination MAC address.
Each row in the table represents one filter. The device automatically sets up
the filters. The device allows you to set up additional filters manually.
The device transmits the data packets as follows:
If the table contains an entry for the destination address of a data packet,
the device transmits the data packet from the receiving port to the port
specified in the table entry.
If there is no table entry for the destination address, the device transmits
the data packet from the receiving port to all the other ports.
