What is a Mac table?
sometimes when interface configured with a static IP address,
which is not
correct, the host does not communicate to the port, and switch
has no MAC
address. I've seen it just two days ago - had an Linux appliance
with a
static IP address configured on the interface. Plugged interface
to the
switch, port says "Connected", but no MAC address in the CAM
table. After I
changed an IP address to whatever it should be for the VLAN -
NIC started to
communicate, and MAC address appears on the port.
