The switch is implemented with a MAC address table, which is composed of many entries. Each entry is used to store the address information of network nodes on the network, including MAC address, port ID, etc. The information is the most important base to do packet filtering and forwarding. When one packet comes in from any port, the switch will learn the source address, port ID, and the other related information in address table. Therefore, the content of the MAC table will update dynamically.
