Forwarding & Filtering
The Switch allows permanent or static entries into the forwarding database (FDB). These FDB entries
are MAC addresses that will not age out. In addition, multicast forwarding may be customized to
conform to rules for the different ports by setting up multicast filter modes for each port.
Unicast Forwarding
Open the Forwarding & Filtering folder and click on the Unicast Forwarding link. This will open the
Setup Static Unicast Forwarding Table window, as shown below.
