Chapter 4 Administering the Switch
Managing the MAC Address Table
•
If you add a unicast MAC address as a static address and configure unicast MAC address filtering,
the switch either adds the MAC address as a static address or drops packets with that MAC address,
depending on which command was entered last. The second command that you entered overrides the
first command.
For example, if you enter the
mac address-table static
vlan
interface
global configuration
command followed by the
mac address-table static
vlan
drop
command, the switch drops packets
with the specified MAC address as a source or destination.
If you enter the
mac address-table static
vlan
drop
global configuration command followed by the
mac address-table static
vlan
interface
command, the switch adds the MAC address as a static
address.
You enable unicast MAC address filtering and configure the switch to drop packets with a specific
address by specifying the source or destination unicast MAC address and the VLAN from which it is
received.
To configure the switch to drop a source or destination unicast static address, perform this task:
This example shows how to enable unicast MAC address filtering and to configure the switch to drop
packets that have a source or destination address of c2f3.220a.12f4. When a packet is received in
VLAN 4 with this MAC address as its source or destination, the packet is dropped:
Switch#
configure terminal
Switch(config)#
mac
a
ddress-table static c2f3.220a.12f4 vlan 4 drop
Switch(config)#
end
Switch#
Note
To filter MAC addresses on a secondary VLAN, specify the corresponding primary VLAN in the above
configuration. If the specified VLAN is a primary VLAN, all matching packets received in this primary
VLAN and associated secondary VLANs are dropped.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
mac address-table static
mac-addr
vlan
vlan-id
drop
Enables unicast MAC address filtering and configure the switch to drop a
packet with the specified source or destination unicast static address.
•
For
mac-addr
, specify a source or destination unicast MAC address.
Packets with this MAC address are dropped.
•
For
vlan-id
, specify the VLAN for which the packet with the
specified MAC address is received. Valid VLAN IDs are 1 to 4094.
To disable unicast MAC address filtering, use the
no mac address-table
static vlan
global configuration command.
Step 3
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show mac address-table static
Verifies your entries.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
