Static Address in
FDB
Add a new static address to the FDB or update an existing one. The static
entry is added to the Forwarding Database or updated with new
destinations if it exists. A new entry is given a permanent status. Other
status values may be given using an SNMP manager. For more
information about static entries in the Forwarding Database see “Static
Addresses” on page 11-8.
Example
Enter:
[3] [3] [4] 0 0180c2000000 1 2
In the static Forwarding Database of bridge #0, the MAC address
0180c2000000
is allowed for input bridge-port #1 and output bridge port
#2.

Address
Specify bridge-ports on which communication is blocked for a static
address in the FDB. For more information about static entries in the
Forwarding Database see “Static Addresses” on page 11-8.
The blocked input and output bridge ports are specified by single
hexadecimal numbers as in Table 6-20.
