Configuration Example 
Adding a Static MAC Address Entry Manually 
Network requirements 
The server connects to the switch through Ethernet 1/0/2. To prevent the switch from broadcasting 
packets destined for the server, it is required to add the MAC address of the server to the MAC address 
table of the switch, which then forwards packets destined for the server through Ethernet 1/0/2. 
z  The MAC address of the server is 000f-e20f-dc71. 
z  Port Ethernet 1/0/2 belongs to VLAN 1. 
z  Suppose the MAC address of a host is 000f-e235-abcd and belongs to VLAN 1. Because the host 
once behaved suspiciously on the network, you can add a blackhole MAC address entry for the 
MAC address to drop all packets destined for the host for security sake. 
Configuration procedure 
# Enter system view. 
<Sysname> system-view 
[Sysname] 
# Add a MAC address, with the VLAN, ports, and states specified. 
[Sysname] mac-address static 000f-e20f-dc71 interface Ethernet 1/0/2 vlan 1 
# Add a black hole MAC address 000f-e235-abcd, with the VLAN and ports specified. 
[Sysname] mac-address blackhole 000f-e235-abcd interface Ethernet 1/0/2 vlan 1 
# Display information about the current MAC address table. 
[Sysname] display mac-address interface Ethernet 1/0/2
