I was wondering what the MAC table size is? Is it different per switch or all the same?

Thanks!

All of our switches currently on the market from the WS-6-MINI to the WS-24-400A use the same switch core

VSC-7424, VSC-7425, and VSC-7427

I know they are differnt part numbers but trust me the chips are identical we just pay a larger price to use more port.

With that being said 4096 MAC addresses maybe held in memory at any given time.

If your Layer 2 segment is larger than that you should really consider segmenting it.
