D-Link DES-3624 manual Configure MAC Address Filtering, Custom Filtering Table screen

Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

♦Switch, Module, and Port The Switch, module, and port number are entered in these fields at the top of the screen. The Switch will always forward traffic to the specified device through this port. The bottom of the screen will display each corresponding destination address for these three items.

Status is a read-only field which lists the status of the static forwarding table entry. It can be “in use” or “not apply.” “Not apply” means that there is a static filter for the same MAC address. Static filters always take precedence over static forwarding entries. The Switch will automatically upgrade the Status to “in use” once the static filter is removed.

Configure MAC Address Filtering

The Custom Filtering Table contains filtering information configured into the Switch by (local or network) management specifying destination addresses which are not allowed to be forwarded. The Switch will check both the destination and source MAC addresses on all packets.

To access the Custom Filtering Table, select Configure Filtering and Forwarding Table from the System Configuration menu. Then select Configure MAC Address Filtering from the bottom of the Configure Filtering and Forwarding table screen. The following screen appears:
