2-18 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), which 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 frame with the corresponding SMAC
address have been seen after a configurable age time
