Static MAC
Switches store the MAC addresses for all known devices in the attached
network. This information is used to forward traffic directly between the
inbound and outbound ports. All the MAC addresses learned by
monitoring traffic are stored in a dynamic address table, which removes
(ages out) any addresses that are not “seen” for a specified time period.
You can also manually configure static MAC addresses that are assigned to
specific ports on the switch. A static MAC address is bound to a specific
port and will not be moved or aged out. You can define up to 24 static
MAC addresses on the switch.
Add Static MAC
Type the static MAC address and associated VLAN ID (1-4095) into
corresponding fields in the Add Static MAC table. After clicking the ADD
button, a new page opens to configure the Destination Mask for this MAC
entry. Only one static MAC address can be added at a time.
Static MAC Address Configuration
This table shows the stored static MAC entries in MAC table.
