Static MAC Address
When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch's address table,
regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch. This saves the
switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address when the disconnected or
powered-off device is active on the network again.
1. In MAC Address column, enter the MAC address to and from which the port
should permanently forward traffic, regardless of the device network activity.
2. In the Port No. column, select a port number.
3. VLAN ID: If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, static
addresses are associated with individual VLANs. Type the VID (tag-based VLANs)
to associate with the MAC address.
4. Click
Add
button.
5. Use Delete button to delete unwanted MAC address.
