Static Address Table:
Use the Static Addresses Table to specify Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for specific ports
not purged from the bridge table by the aging function. There are 3 entries in the table. Two
commands are available to add and/or remove an entry. To add an entry, follow the pop-out prompt.
1. Enter MAC Address(xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) > 00:12:34:99:ab:ef <ENTER>
2. Add new entry->Enter port number > 10 <ENTER>
3. Add new entry->Enter VLAN ID> 50 <ENTER>
A new entry displays: 00:12:34:99:AB:EF 10 50
To remove an entry:
1. Hit key D
2. Enter MAC Address(xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) > 00:11:ab:00:33:55 <ENTER>
3. Delete entry->Enter VLAN ID> 30 <ENTER>
Display MAC Address by Port, MAC, and VID
With the number of hosts increase on a network, the Forwarding Database grows sharply. To look for
an MAC address becomes time-consuming work. The system provides three different ways for
administrator to research MAC addresses; by a specified Port, sorted by MAC address, and by a
specified VLAN. Each one of these, a Set Age-Out time command is given to configure the time to
remove a non-recently-used entry. The modification on this timer is switch-wide.
The age-out time is the amount of time that an entry is kept in the bridge tables prior to being purged
(or aged). The range is between 10 seconds and 1,000,000 seconds. By industry standard, 300
seconds is the default.
