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.
you have to make a table, then click on the inspector, and click on table inspector.
address resolution protocol is used when the switch used to build the dynamic mac address table.
BRIDGE
bang it on the table
Bridges and switches learn and filter MAC addressses into memory over time thereby creating a table of Mac addresses. Bridges build a memory table of MAC addresses they get from segments. Switches build tables based on switch port numbers to MAC addresses instead of segment numbers.

A switch would record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table if it does not contain the Mac address of a particular destination in the address table. It will broadcast to all ports besides the port where entry comes from.
Power cycle the switch to clear all dynamically learned addresses, and the clear mac address table command will remove statically and dynamically configured table entires
Source MAC address and source port
It duplicates the frame to all Ethernet ports, except the port it came from. A switch's MAC table is built not from destination addresses it receives, but by the source MAC addresses. So the frame is broadcast throughout the broadcast domain, until the end device with a matching MAC address responds to the broadcast, thus giving the switch a new source address to add to its MAC table.
