The present invention relates to an access node (2a, 2b) comprising: a forwarding mean (31) adapted to forward data traffic according to a forwarding table (32) that comprises one-to-one associations between destination hardware addresses and respective egress interfaces, a forwarding configuration means (33) adapted to configure forwarding entries into the forwarding table, a capturing means (34) adapted to capture auto-configuration messages exchanged between an auto-configuration server (4) and subscriber devices for assigning network addresses thereto. An access node according to the invention is characterized in that the forwarding configuration means is coupled to the capturing means, and is further adapted to synchronize the configuration of a particular forwarding entry related to a particular hardware address (MAC@1) of a particular subscriber device (1) with the lease of a particular network address (IP@1) to the particular subscriber device. The present invention also relates to a method for self-configuring a forwarding table (32) in an access node (2a, 2b). |
