# View and download the MAC address table

To troubleshoot a network issue, view or download the MAC address table of a logical interconnect. MAC addresses are available for the following Ethernet interconnect modules:

- Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module

- Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module

- Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module for c-Class BladeSystem

- Virtual Connect FlexFabric 20/40 F8 Module for c-Class BladeSystem

MAC address information is available for the Ethernet interconnects that are powered on, operational, and managed by the appliance. You can view up to 100 MAC address entries for the logical interconnect, or download the entire table as a compressed CSV file for further analysis.

The downloaded file contains the entire database with associated uplink sets, server profiles, and networks.

You can initiate one download request at a time. Any previous download is deleted before generating a new one. The downloaded file is in a compressed CSV file format so that you can manipulate the data using software of your choice, such as Microsoft Excel.
