Physical switches use MAC tables to perform frame forwarding. Physical switches learn and build the MAC table. The switch reads the Ethernet headers and learns the MAC address of the device and makes an entry in its MAC table.
By populating MAC tables, the switches learn on which physical port the corresponding client MAC address is located. This is the example output from the Juniper physical switch:
