Static MAC Address
When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch's address table, regardless
of whether the device is physically connected to the switch. Th is saves the switch from
having to re-learn a device's MAC add ress when the disconnected or powered-off device
is active on the network again.
1. MAC Address: enter the MAC address to and from which the port should
permanently forward traffic, regardless of the device network activity.
2. Port Number: select a port number.
3. VLAN ID: If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, static
addresses are associated with individual VLANs. Type the VID (tag-based VLANs) to
associate with the MAC address.
4. Click
Add
button.
5. Use
Delete
button to delete unwanted MAC address.
