CHAPTER  10
Static MAC Forward Setup
10.1  Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure forwarding rules based on MAC addresses of devices on 
your network.
Use these screens to configure static MAC address forwarding.
10.1.1  What You Can Do
Use the Static MAC Forwarding screen (Section 10.2 on page 112) to assign static MAC 
addresses for a port.
10.2  Configuring Static MAC Forwarding  
A static MAC address is an address that has been manually entered in the MAC address 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. 
Static MAC address forwarding together with port security allow only computers in the MAC address 
table on a port to access the Switch. See Chapter 19 on page 163 for more information on port 
security.
Click Advanced Application > Static MAC Forwarding in the navigation panel to display the 
configuration screen as shown.
