Static MAC Forward Setup
Use these screens to configure static MAC address forwarding.
8.1 Static MAC Forwarding Overview
A static MAC address is an address that has been manually entered in the MAC address learning table. Static MAC addresses do not age out. When you set up static MAC address rules, you are setting static MAC addresses for a port. This may reduce the need for broadcasting.
8.2 Configuring Static MAC Forwarding
Click Advanced Applications > Static MAC Forwarding in the navigation panel to display the configuration screen as shown. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to view the summary table for the settings.
