Configuration Example

Adding a Static MAC Address Entry Manually

Network requirements
The server connects to the device through GigabitEthernet 1/0/2. To prevent the device from
broadcasting packets destined for the server, it is required to add the MAC address of the server to the
MAC address table of the device, which then forwards packets destined for the server through
GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.
z The MAC address of the server is 000f-e20f-dc71.
z Port GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 belongs to VLAN 1.
Configuration procedure
# Enter system view.

# Add a MAC address, with the VLAN, ports, and states specified.
[device] mac-address static 000f-e20f-dc71 interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 vlan 1
# Display information about the current MAC address table.
