6 Address Table Settings
Switches store the addresses for all known devices. This information is used to pass
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.
This chapter describes the following topics:
◆ Static MAC Addresses – Configures static entries in the address table.
◆ MAC Address Isolation – Forwards or filters static entries based on specified
isolation mode.
◆ Address Aging Time – Sets time out for dynamically learned entries.
◆ Dynamic Address Cache – Shows dynamic entries in the address table.
◆ MAC Address Mirroring – Mirrors traffic matching a specified source address to
a target port.
◆ Extended MAC Security – Configures the maximum number of MAC addresses
that can be learned on an interface, the movable-static function which allows a
static address to be moved to another interface, and the sticky-dynamic
function which prevents dynamic address already learned elsewhere from
being learned at a specified interface.
Setting Static Addresses
Use the MAC Address > Static (Configure MAC Address) page to configure static
MAC addresses. A static address can be assigned to a specific interface on this
switch.
Command Usage
The static address for a host device can be assigned to a specific port within a
specific VLAN. Use this command to add static addresses to the MAC Address Table.
Static addresses have the following characteristics:
â—† 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.
