D-Link DES-3028 User Manual - Mac Address

DES-3028 DES-3028P DES-3052 DES-3052P Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Managed Switch 

MAC Address 

This allows the Switch's dynamic MAC address forwarding table to be viewed. When the Switch learns an association between a 

MAC address and a port number, it makes an entry into its forwarding table. These entries are then used to forward packets 

through the Switch. 

To view the MAC Address forwarding table, from the Monitoring menu, click the MAC Address link:
