Setting Static Addresses
Setting Static Addresses
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.
Command Usage
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.
