25.1 Description

The Switch performs Layer 2 switching, in which frames are forwarded to specific ports based on destination MAC address. Forwarding frames to specific ports according to their destination MAC address can prevent unnecessary traffic caused by unicast frame flooding.

MAC address learning treats a channel group as a single port.
