Cisco Systems TEG-S2500i manual Static MAC Address

2.5.6.2. Static MAC Address

When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch's address table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address when the disconnected or powered-off device is active on the network again.

1.At the main menu, click administrator ÆFilter Database ÆStatic MAC Address.

2.In the MAC address box, enter the MAC address to and from which the port should permanently forward traffic, regardless of the device’s network activity.

3.In the Port Number box, enter a port number.

4.If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, static addresses are associated with individual VLANs. Type the VID (tag-based VLANs) to associate with the MAC address.

5.Click the Add.

6.Click the “Prev 50” will list the previous 50 MAC addresses.

7.Click the “Top” will refresh the list from the first entry.

8.Click the “Next 50” will list the next 50 MAC addresses.
