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.
