Assigning a /32 to an interface that connects to something else doesn't make any sense. You can assign the /32 to a loopback interface:
interface Loopback0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255
If you want to assign the 192.168.10.1
address to the GigabitEthernet0/0 interface which uses 192.168.10.0/24
:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
This results in the network 192.168.10.0/24
entry in the routing table as a connected route (C
). I suppose it depends on the IOS version, but you can also get a local (not link local which is something else, entirely) route to the specific (/32
) address assigned to an interface in your router. My IOS does this. The version you have doesn't show the L
in the codes, whereas mine does as the first entry:
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
a - application route
+ - replicated route, % - next hop override

MAC addresses aren't configured on a switch, they are learned - a switch is a self-learning MAC bridge.
So, unless there are nodes connected to the switch and they've already sent frames across the switch the MAC table is empty.
While in real life nodes are likely to send frames once their link is up even if there's no "serious" traffic, packet tracer might not simulate that traffic and show an empty address table.
