Configuring Static Addresses
A static address has the following characteristics:
•
It is manually entered in the address table and must be manually removed.
•
It can be a unicast or multicast address.
•
It does not age and is retained when the switch restarts.
Because all ports are associated with at least one VLAN, the switch acquires the VLAN ID for the
address from the ports that you select on the forwarding map. A static address in one VLAN must be a
static address in other VLANs. A packet with a static address that arrives on a VLAN where it has not
been statically entered is flooded to all ports and not learned.
To add a static address, use the following commands beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
To remove a static address, use the following commands beginning in privileged EXEC mode
:
You can remove all secure addresses by using the clear mac-address-table static command in
privileged EXEC mode.
Verifying Static Addresses
Step 1
Use the show mac-address-table static command to verify configuration:
Router #
show mac-address-table static

Slot # :0
