This chapter discusses how to configure forwarding rules based on MAC addresses of devices on your
network.
Use these screens to configure static MAC address forwarding.

Use the
Sta tic MAC Fo rwa rding
screen (
Section 10.2 on page 127
) to assign static MAC addresses for a
port.
10.2 C o nfig uring Sta tic MAC Fo rwa rding
A static MAC address is an address that has been manually entered in the MAC address table. Static
MAC addresses do not age out. When you set up static MAC address rules, you are setting static MAC
addresses for a port. This may reduce the need for broadcasting.
Static MAC address forwarding together with port security allow only computers in the MAC address
table on a port to access the Switch. See
Chapter 19 on page 180
for more information on port security.
