4-3-7-1. Static MAC Address When a static MAC address is added, 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 device is disconnected or powered-off and then becomes
active again.
The menu shows the current configured static MAC addresses. The user
can add, modify or delete a static MAC address. Once added, the MAC
address will be listed on this page.
Add static MAC address
1. Press the <Add> key. Then press the <Edit> key on this menu to add a
static MAC address.
2. Enter the MAC address to and from which the port should permanently
forward traffic, regardless of the devices network activity.
3. In the Port num field, enter the port number for the device.
4. If tag-based (802.1Q) VLANs are configured, the static addresses are
associated with individual VLANs. Enter the VID to associate with the
MAC address.
5. Press ESC to go back action menu line, and then select <Save> to save
all configured values.
