In the opposite case, if the Aging Time is too short, many entries
may be aged out soon, resulting in a high percentage of received
packets whose source addresses cannot be found in the address
table, in which case the switch will broadcast the packet to all
ports, negating many of the benefits of having a switch.
Filtering Database
A switch uses a filtering database to segment the network and
control communications between segments. It also filters
packets off the network for intrusion control (MAC Address
filtering).
For port filtering, each port on the switch is a unique collision
domain and the switch filters (discards) packets whose
destination lies on the same port as where it originated. This
keeps local packets from disrupting communications on other
parts of the network.
For intrusion control, whenever a switch encounters a packet
originating from or destined to a MAC address defined by the
user, the switch will discard the packet.
Filtering includes:
1. Dynamic filtering --- automatic learning and aging of MAC
addresses and their location on the network. Filtering occurs
to keep local traffic confined to its segment.
2. MAC address filtering --- the manual entry of specific MAC
addresses to be filtered from the network.
3. Filtering done by the Spanning Tree Protocol, which can
filter packets based on topology, making sure that signal
loops don’t occur.
