Maybe this will sound like a silly question to some of you but I have been studying for CCNA exam and while I was in the subject of mac address table I understood the idea, the switch maps mac addresses to ports, so with that concept there's a question that has been in my mind for a few days. What would a 24 port Soho switch need a 8,000 mac addresses table size for? I hand to deploy a Netgear GS324 for a small office with no more than 30 devices connected at the same time, that would be the about 20 connected to the switch and the rest via an access point. So what would be the case scenario where you need an 8K mac address table in a Soho switch?
Maybe there's a basic concept I'm missing here.
