Add MAC address forwarding table display page

When remotely accessing or managing a switch, it is not possible to tell which device is connected to which port.

 

When troubleshooting it is very useful to see which port a switch has learned a MAC address from.

 

Since switching is it's core function, knowing what information it is basing it's switching decisions on is enormously useful for tracing issues and performance monitoring

 

In any network of more than a few switches, or any lights-out facilities, MAC address tracing is an essential feature.

 

Display a simple table of MAC address, switch port source, age
