"what does mean switch support 1024 mac address ?"

 

A switch will keep track of learned mac addresses in a cam table and "support 1024 mac address" indicates the switch can keep track of maximum of 1024 mac addresses. 

 

See below,

Link below discusses mac overflow and mitigation techniques, which may help with understanding how the cam table works.

Hope this helps,
