ABSTRACT:
An address learning method for a network device having a plurality of connection ports, at least one of which is electrically connected to a terminal device. The method includes a fetching process, a hashed-address generating process, a data registering process and an address registering process. The fetching process fetches an address data string from a first memory unit by a programmable logic device (PLD). The hashed-address generating process generates a hashed-address by the programmable logic device. The data registering process writes the address data string into an address data table. The address registering process writes the hashed-address into a hashed-address table. A network device for performing the address data learning method is also disclosed.
