1.6.5 Static MAC

The MAC address table stores the MAC addresses used by the switch to forward traffic between ports.
Supermicro switches allow for the static configuration of entries in MAC address.
Static MAC Characteristics:
Static MAC addresses do not age and are automatically stored as part of the startup
•
configuration, so they are available after restart.
Static MAC addresses can be unicast or multicast.
•
Forwarding Behavior for Static MAC Addresses:
Supermicro switches provide the flexibility to configure the forwarding behavior for static MAC
•
addresses, i.e. how a port that receives a packet forwards it to another port for transmission.
A packet with a static address that arrives on a VLAN on which static MAC address has been
•
configured is flooded to all ports and not learned.
A static address is created by specifying the destination MAC unicast address and the VLAN from
•
which it is received. Packets received with this destination address are forwarded to the
interface specified with the interface-id option.
Follow the steps below to configure a static MAC address.

Description
Enters the configuration mode.
multicast
Configures a multicast or unicast static
MAC address.
Vlan – Specifies the VLAN for which the
packet with the specified MAC address
is received. Valid VLAN IDs are from 1
to 4094.
Interface - specifies the interface to
which the received packet is
forwarded. Valid interfaces include
