4-3-6.MAC Address Configuration
4-3-6-1.Static MAC Address
When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch's address
table regardless of whether or not the device is physically connected to the
switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC
address when the device is disconnected or powered off and then becomes
active again.
The menu shows the current configured static MAC addresses. The user
can add, modify or delete a static MAC address. Once added, the MAC
address will be listed on this page.
Add static MAC address
1. Press the <Add> key. Then press the <Edit> key on this menu to add a
static MAC address.
2. Enter the MAC address to and from which the port should permanently
forward traffic.
11. In the Port Num field, enter the port number for the device.
12. The VLAN ID field is not available if the switch is configured for port
based VLANs. If tag-based (802.1Q) VLANs are configured, the static
addresses are associated with individual VLANs. The user must add the
VID to be associated with the MAC address.
4. Press ESC to go back to the action menu line, and then select <Save>
to save all configured values.
Note: If you change VLAN types from IEEE to port based, all your static
MAC addresses will be deleted.
