5-4-6-2. 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. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device’s MAC
address when the device is disconnected or powered-off.
To add a static MAC address
1. From the main menu, click administrator, then click Filter Database.
2. Click Static MAC Addresses. In the MAC address box, enter the MAC
address of the port that should permanently forward traffic regardless
of a device’s network activity.
3. In the Port Number box, select a port number.
4. 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.
5. Click add
5-4-6-3. Port Security
A port in Security Mode will be locked without address learning
permission. Only the incoming packets with SMAC already existing in the
address table can be forwarded normally. Users can disable the port from
learning any new MAC addresses and use the static MAC addresses
screen to define a list of MAC addresses that can use the secure port.
