CHAPTER 56
Static MAC Forwarding
56.1 Static MAC Forwarding 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.
56.1.1 What You Can Do
Use the Static MAC Forwarding screen (Section 56.2 on page 412) to assign static MAC addresses for a
port.
56.2 Configure 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.
Click SWITCHING > Static MAC Forwarding in the navigation panel to display the configuration screen as
shown.
