All righty, here we are in our switch lab. Now of course, we have two different VLANs VLAN three and VLAN. Two. Obviously, you don't want to exist by default. So we're going to even talk about that. But we're here just to look at the actual MAC address tables as we talked about it.
And the cat the or the kam table, as they call it. Right and you can see these are layer three switches, and we'll look at it from the perspective of the core switch or the core switch. Okay, all my drivers out there. So what we're going to do I show MAC address. Now again, don't get freaked out because the configuration or done the configuration though, the command to type MAC address table is different from one packet tracer to the next. Okay, so it is Mac hyphen, address hyphen table, but here it is layer three switch They want Mac space is open table.
So you take a look at that. And you can see that I learned all the different MAC addresses of all the other switches that are connected to dynamically dynamically. Okay? So there's a way that you can take a look and see what's going on what you've learned. Okay, obviously, there's more show commands that you can use, okay to look at, only they're going to go too deep into the show commands as far as the business is concerned, as far as you can look at the MAC address table, recognize that it learned dynamically recognize it as a static entry, meaning if you actually manually typed it in, or you were using the sticky command to make it static to make it permanent, but you can see that Formula One VLAN, two, and VLAN. Three, we're learning all these different MAC addresses, okay.
And that is as simple as that. Like I said, there are Other commands but again, you will investigate on your own, okay. And there's commands within the book that obviously the packet tracer cannot handle cannot handle. All right, but very basic looking at your mac address tables or your tables in there to see, okay, what can we do? How can you know? are we learning the right things or not?
That's what it's for. It's a troubleshooting tool. And more likely, you'll be looking at things through a network monitoring tool to see everything that's going on. But that's it. See you in the next
