4-3-6-1.Static MAC Address

When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch's address table regardless of whether or not 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.

11.In the Port Num field, enter the port number for the device.

12.The VLAN ID field is not available if the switch is configured for port based VLANs. If tag-based (802.1Q) VLANs are configured, the static addresses are associated with individual VLANs. The user must add the VID to be associated with the MAC address.

4.Press ESC to go back to the action menu line, and then select <Save> to save all configured values.

Note: If you change VLAN types from IEEE to port based, all your static MAC addresses will be deleted.
