Defining a MAC Address Manually

The Security Module provides you with the flexibility of manually adding MAC addresses into a port's MAC address table, and into the Autolearning Database. You may use this feature to add one or more MAC addresses to a port MAC address table instead of Autolearning a port's associated MAC addresses.

Note: If you are using a TRMM to manage the Security Module, you must use this command in order to add MAC addresses to a port MAC address table. (The TRMM does not support Autolearning.)

For example, once Autolearning Capture has completed and the MAC addresses are downloaded, a new station may be added to the network. You can add the new station's MAC address to a port's MAC address table using the SET SECURITY PORT MAC_ADDRESS command.

Issue the following command to add the MAC address 08-54-6f-01-32-08 to the MAC address table for port 1 on the module in slot 3.

ONline> set security port 3.1 mac_address 08-54-6f-01-32-08 [ENTER]

Note: MAC addresses 00-00-00-00-00-00 and FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF are invalid.

Use the following command to add the MAC address 08-54-6f-01-32-08 into the Autolearning database. This command specifies that port 1 on the Security Module in slot 3 is associated with the MAC address 08-54-6f-01-32-08.

ONline> set security autolearn 3.1 mac_address 08-54-6f-01-32-08 [ENTER]
