5.8.2 Static MAC Address
When users add a static MAC address, it remains in the SP3508A’s address
table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch.
This saves the SP3508A from having to re-learn a device's MAC address
when disconnected or powered-off. Following is the procedure for adding a
static MAC address.
1. From the main menu, click administrator, then click Filter Database
.
2. Click Static MAC Addresses.
3. In the MAC address box, enter the MAC address to and from which
the port should permanently forward traffic, regardless of the
device's network activity.
4. In the Port Number box, select a port number.
5. If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the SP3508A,
static addresses are associated with individual VLANs. Type the
VID (tag-based VLANs) to associate with the MAC address.
6. Click <Add>.
