Setting Static Addresses

When you configure static MAC addresses, traffic sent from devices listed in the static address table will only be accepted on the specified interface. Static addresses remain 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.
