NOTE

If tag-based or port-based VLANs are currently active, you must assign each static MAC address to a specific VLAN.

Description

Static MAC addresses are MAC addresses that remain in the switch’s address table, whether or not the device is physically connected to the switch. After you define a static MAC address, it remains in the switch’s address table until you remove it.

Enter MAC: Indicates the MAC address you want to permanently add to the address table.

VLAN or VLAN ID: Indicates VLAN or VLAN ID. When VLANs are active on the switch you can define static MAC addresses for each VLAN. If port-based VLANs are active press zto select a VLAN. If tag- based VLANs are active, type the VLAN ID that the static MAC address will be assigned.

Select port: Selects a port on the switch to which the switch forwards traffic (press z).

ADD/DELETE: Adds or removes a MAC address from the switch’s table.
