Using Device Find Source Address on Ethernet MicroLAN Modules
When you select the Device Find Source Address option on an Ethernet MicroLAN
module (e.g., the 6E123-50 or 6E133-49), a search is made of both the Source Address
Table (SAT) and the 802.1d Filtering database to discover through which interface(s) a
specified source MAC address is communicating. If the MAC address is found, the
interface types “Bridge” and “Enet #” will display in the Component field with their
associated port index number displayed in the Port Instance field.
