Setting Static Addresses
A static address can be assigned to a specific interface on this switch.
Traffic sent from devices listed in the static address table will only be
accepted on the specified interface. If any packets with a source address
listed in this table enter another interface, they will be dropped.
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. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC
address when the disconnected or powered-off device becomes active on
the network again.
Field Attributes

•Port Num – Port associated with the device assigned a static address.

available if IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLANs are enabled (page 3-29).
