Summary: | A Media Access Control address (MAC) learning method includes: parsing out packet header and packet verification parameter of a packet from an input/output port; generating a port identifier corresponding to the input/output port; starting first-stage procedure for the packet header; and starting second-stage procedure for the packet verification parameter. The first-stage procedure includes: performing, according to a MAC forwarding table and the port identifier, learning processing for source MAC address of the packet header to generate learning result; generating status parameter according to the learning result; and associating and storing the status parameter, the port identifier, and a hash address corresponding to the source MAC address into a memory. The second-stage procedure includes: obtaining the status parameter and the hash address from the memory according to the port identifier; and updating the MAC forwarding table according to the packet verification parameter, the obtained status parameter, |
