Chapter 1: Overview

MAC Address Table

Up to 512 MAC addresses can be stored in the converter’s MAC address

table. The converter’s self-learning feature will learn all new addresses in

real-time after power-up. If the source address of an incoming packet is

not found in the MAC address table, the converter will update the table

with the new address.

The converter also has an automatic address aging feature that will

delete a source address from the table if it has not seen a frame from the

end-node with that address within five minutes. This prevents the table

from becoming filled with addresses of end-nodes that are no longer

active.

The converter forwards all multicast, broadcast, and unlearned unicast

packets when the MAC address table has exceeded its storage limit.
