CHAPTER 10
Static MAC Forward Setup
Use these screens to configure static MAC address forwarding.
10.1 Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure forwarding rules based on MAC addresses
of devices on your network.
10.2 Configuring Static MAC Forwarding
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 allows only computers
in the MAC address table on a port to access the Switch. See Chapter 19 on page
197 for more information on port security.
