CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Address Table Settings

Switches store the addresses for all known devices. This information is used to route traffic directly between the inbound and outbound ports. All the addresses learned by monitoring traffic are stored in the dynamic address table. You can also manually configure static addresses that are bound to a specific port.

Setting Static Addresses

A static address can be assigned to a specific interface on this switch. Static addresses are bound to the assigned interface and will not be moved. When a static address is seen on another interface, the address will be ignored and will not be written to the address table.

Command Usage

Entries specified via the Web interface are permanent. Entries specified via the CLI can be made permanent or can be set to be deleted on reset.

Web – Click Address Table/Static Addresses. Specify the interface, the MAC address and VLAN, then click “Add Static Address.”
