IP Table
This chapter introduces the IP table.
34.1 IP Table Overview
The
IP Table
screen shows how packets are forwarded or filtered across the Switch’s ports. It
shows what device IP address, belonging to what VLAN group (if any) is forwarded to which
port(s) and whether the IP address is dynamic (learned by the Switch) or static (belonging to
the Switch).
The Switch uses the IP table to determine how to forward packets. See the following figure.
1
The Switch examines a received packet and learns the port on which this source IP
address came.
2
The Switch checks to see if the packet's destination IP address matches a source IP
address already learned in the IP table.
• If the Switch has already learned the port for this IP address, then it forwards the
packet to that port.
• If the Switch has not already learned the port for this IP address, then the packet is
flooded to all ports. Too much port flooding leads to network congestion.
• If the Switch has already learned the port for this IP address, but the destination port is
the same as the port it came in on, then it filters the packet.
