Admin > Static Address
Admin > Static Address
The Static Address screen lets you assign a static address to a specific interface on the Switch. A static address is bound to its assigned interface and cannot be moved. If a static address is seen on an interface to which it is not assigned, the address is ignored and is not written to the address table.
A list of all static addresses on the Switch is displayed at the bottom of the Static Address screen. The top section of the screen contains the following fields that you use to create static address entries.
Interface The interface that is associated with the static address. Select Port or LAG, then select the desired interface from the accompanying
MAC Address This is the physical address that is being mapped to the specified interface.
VLAN ID The VLAN ID number
VLAN Name The name of the VLAN associated with the specified interface. If you use this field, the VLAN ID field is disabled.
Status The static address type. The possible values are::
•Permanent (default) Keep the entry permanently.
•Delete on Reset Delete the entry when the Switch is reset.
•Delete on Timeout Delete the entry when a timeout occurs. The default timeout period is 300 seconds.
•Secure The entry is defined for locked ports.
After you have entered the information listed above, click Add to List. The static address will then appear in the list of static addresses. To delete a static MAC address from the list, select the entry in the list, then click Remove.
Admin > Dynamic Address
Admin > Dynamic Address
The Dynamic Address Table contains MAC addresses learned by monitoring the source address on inbound traffic. When the destination address of inbound traffic is found in the table, packets intended for that address are forwarded directly to the associated port. Otherwise, the traffic is flooded to all ports.
The Dynamic Address screen lets you query the table to find specific dynamic MAC addresses, or display MAC addresses associated with a specific interface or VLAN. Query criteria include interface type, MAC address, VLAN, and table sort key. You can also set the Dynamic MAC Address Table’s address aging parameter or clear the table.
Address Aging Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) that a MAC address remains in the Dynamic MAC Address table before it times out, if no traffic from the source is detected. The default value is 300 seconds.
Clear Table If checked, this clears the MAC Address table.
Query
Interface Use this to query the table for a specific port or LAG. Select Port or LAG and select the interface from the
MAC Address Use this to query the table for a specific MAC address. Enter the MAC address in the field.

Address Table Sort Key Specifies how the search results will be
Specify the search criteria (Interface, MAC Address, or VLAN) and the sort method for the search results, then click Query to display the dynamic addresses matching the search criteria.
