MAC Learning tab
You use several Device Manager tabs to configure and view the allowed MAC table.

Note:
You must enable the Unknown MAC Discard feature on the Port Interface dialog box to implement the allowed MAC table features. You can configure the allowed MAC table parameters with the Unknown MAC Discard feature disabled, but you must enable the Unknown MAC Discard feature to activate the allowed MAC table feature.
