Chapter 5 Administering the Switch
Managing the MAC Address Table
A packet with a static address that arrives on a VLAN where it has not been statically entered is flooded
to all ports and not learned.
You add a static address to the address table by specifying the destination MAC unicast address and the
VLAN from which it is received. Packets received with this destination address are forwarded to the
interface specified with the
interface-id
option.
When you configure a static MAC address in a private-VLAN primary or secondary VLAN, you should
also configure the same static MAC address in all associated VLANs. Static MAC addresses configured
in a private-VLAN primary or secondary VLAN are not replicated in the associated VLAN. For more
information about private VLANs, see
Chapter 16, “Configuring Private VLANs.”
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode,
follow these steps to add a static address:
To remove static entries from the address table, use the
no mac address-table static
mac-addr
vlan
vlan-id
[
interface
interface-id
]
global configuration command.
This example shows how to add the static address c2f3.220a.12f4 to the MAC address table. When a
packet is received in VLAN 4 with this MAC address as its destination address, the packet is forwarded
to the specified port:
Switch(config)#
mac address-table static c2f3.220a.12f4 vlan 4 interface
gigabitethernet1/0/1
Configuring Unicast MAC Address Filtering
When unicast MAC address filtering is enabled, the switch drops packets with specific source or
destination MAC addresses. This feature is disabled by default and only supports unicast static
addresses.

Add a static address to the MAC address table.
•
For
mac-addr
, specify the destination MAC unicast address to add to
the address table. Packets with this destination address received in the
specified VLAN are forwarded to the specified interface.
•
For
vlan-id
, specify the VLAN for which the packet with the
specified MAC address is received. Valid VLAN IDs are 1 to 4094.
•
For
interface-id
, specify the interface to which the received packet is
forwarded. Valid interfaces include physical ports or port channels.
For static multicast addresses, you can enter multiple interface IDs.
For static unicast addresses, you can enter only one interface at a
time, but you can enter the command multiple times with the same
MAC address and VLAN ID.
