Networking and
Configuration
Requirements
Server is connected to Switch through port Ethernet 1/0/2. Configure a static MAC
address containing the Server MAC address on Switch, so that Switch can unicast
rather than broadcast packets destined for Server through Ethernet 1/0/2. Port
Ethernet 1/0/10 is connected with a network management server (NMS). For
network management security, configure Ethernet 1/0/10 to permit the access of
this NMS only.
■The Server MAC address is 000f-e20f-dc71.
■Port Ethernet 1/0/2 belongs to VLAN 10.
■The NMS MAC address is 0014-222c-aa69.
