Intel 470 manual To add a static MAC address to the address table

C H A P T E R 4 Intel® NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches User Guide

NOTE

To view the switch’s address table, click the Monitor menu, click Advanced, and then click MAC Address Table.

•You can manually add MAC addresses to the table. These are called static addresses, because they remain in the table until you remove them, even if the associated node is inactive or removed from the network. Performance and security issues are two reasons for adding static addresses.

To add a static MAC address to the address table

1Click the Configure Device menu, and then click Forwarding and Filtering.

2Click Static MAC Addresses.

3Click Add.

4In the MAC Address box, type the MAC address of a device on the network. Do not include hyphens.

5In the Port Number box, click a port number.

6If port-based or tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, static MAC addresses are associated with specific VLANs. Type the VLAN name (port-based VLANs) or VID (tag-based VLANs) to associate with the MAC address.

7Click Add.
