The MAC Address Page contains the following fields:

View All — Displays all dynamic addresses learned on the ports of the device and all static addresses that have been assigned to the ports.

View Static — Displays the static addresses assigned to the ports on the device.

View Dynamic — Displays the dynamic addresses learned on the ports on the device.

View MAC Addresses on Port — Displays the dynamic and static MAC addresses of a port. You can specify more than one port at a time.

View MAC Addresses for VLAN — Displays the static and dynamic addresses learned on the tagged and untagged ports of a specific VLAN. You specify the VLAN by entering the VLAN ID. Only one VLAN can be defined at a time.

View MAC Address — Displays the number of the port on which a MAC address was assigned or learned. To find out on which port a particular MAC address was learned, even if the device is part of a large network, you can just specify the MAC address. The system automatically locates the port on the device where the device is connected.

2.Define the fields for the Unicast or Multicast MAC addresses to add.

3.Click Add. The Add MAC Address Page opens:

Figure 43: Add MAC Address Page

The Add MAC Address Page contains the following fields:

MAC Address —Defines the static or dynamic Unicast MAC address.

Port Number —Indicates the port on which the address was learned or assigned. The MAC address with port “CPU” is the address of the device.

VLAN ID — Displays the VLAN ID number to which the entry refers.

Status — Indicates the current status of the address. The possible values are:

Permanent — The MAC address is permanent.

Delete on Reset — The MAC address is deleted when the device is reset.

Delete on Timeout — The MAC address is deleted when a timeout occurs.

Secure Options — The MAC Address is defined for locked ports.

Note

When viewed, the information also includes the Type of the address: static or dynamic.

AT-8000S specifications

The Allied Telesis AT-8000S series switches are a range of advanced Layer 2 Ethernet switches designed for efficient networking in various environments. Engineered with performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in mind, these switches are ideal for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure.

One of the main features of the AT-8000S series is its high-speed data forwarding capabilities. With support for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, these switches provide fast and reliable connections, enabling seamless data transfer and enhanced communication between devices. The non-blocking switching architecture ensures that full bandwidth is available at all times, maximizing throughput and reducing latency in network traffic.

The AT-8000S series incorporates advanced Layer 2 switching technologies, such as VLAN support, allowing users to segment network traffic for improved performance and security. Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) help isolate sensitive data and reduce unnecessary broadcast traffic, enhancing the overall performance of the network.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another significant feature integrated into these switches, prioritizing different classes of network traffic. This functionality ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and minimal latency, which is imperative for voice over IP, video conferencing, and other latency-sensitive applications.

In terms of network management, the AT-8000S series provides a variety of options, including an intuitive web-based interface, SNMP support, and the ability to manage switch configurations through console access. This flexibility allows network administrators to monitor performance and manage configurations easily.

The switches are built for durability, featuring a robust design suitable for deployment in various environments, including temperature-sensitive areas. Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability is also available in certain models, allowing network devices like IP cameras and wireless access points to receive power through the same cable as data, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.

Allied Telesis emphasizes security within the AT-8000S series, with features such as port security, DHCP snooping, and IEEE 802.1X authentication to safeguard against unauthorized access and potential threats.

Overall, the Allied Telesis AT-8000S series provides a comprehensive networking solution tailored for modern business needs, combining performance, flexibility, and security to support a growing array of applications and devices within the network.
