Remove a Static MAC Address
You can manually remove static MAC addresses from the MAC address table.
To add a static MAC address:
1.
Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2.
Launch a web browser.
3.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
The login window opens.
4.
Enter the switch’s password in the
password
field.
The default password is
password
. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
The System Information page displays.
5.
Select
Switching > Address Table > Advanced > Static MAC Address
.
The page displays the Port List section and the Static MAC ADdress Table section.
6.
From the
Interface
menu, select the interface.
7.
Select the check box for the static MAC address.
You can select multiple MAC addresses.
8.
Click the
Delete
button.
The static MAC address is removed from the MAC address table.
Configure Layer 2 Loop Protection
Loops inside a network are costly because they consume resources and reduce the
performance of the network. Detecting loops manually can be cumbersome.
The switch can automatically identify loops in the network. You can enable loop protection
per port or globally.
If loop protection is enabled, the switch sends predefined PDU packets to a Layer 2 multicast
destination address (09:00:09:09:13:A6) on all ports for which the feature is enabled. You
can selectively disable PDU packet transmission for loop protection on specific ports even
while port loop protection is enabled. If the switch receives a packet with the previously
mentioned multicast destination address, the source MAC address in the packet is compared
with the MAC address of the switch. If the MAC address does not match, the packet is
