Switches store the addresses for all known devices. This information is
used to pass traffic directly between the inbound and outbound ports. All
the addresses learned by monitoring traffic are stored in the dynamic
address table. You can also manually configure static addresses that are
bound to a specific port.
This chapter describes the following topics:
◆
Static MAC Addresses – Configures static entries in the address table.
◆
Address Aging Time – Sets timeout for dynamically learned entries.
◆
Dynamic Address Cache – Shows dynamic entries in the address table.
◆
MAC Address Mirroring – Mirrors traffic matching a specified source
address to a target port.

Use the MAC Address > Static page to configure static MAC addresses. A
static address can be assigned to a specific interface on this switch. Static
addresses are bound to the assigned interface and will not be moved.
When a static address is seen on another interface, the address will be
ignored and will not be written to the address table.

The static address for a host device can be assigned to a specific port
within a specific VLAN. Use this command to add static addresses to the
MAC Address Table. Static addresses have the following characteristics:
◆ Static addresses are bound to the assigned interface and will not be
moved. When a static address is seen on another interface, the address
will be ignored and will not be written to the address table.
◆ Static addresses will not be removed from the address table when a
given interface link is down.
◆ A static address cannot be learned on another port until the address is
removed from the table.
