8.1 Introduction to Static MAC Forward Setup

A static MAC address entry is an address that has been manually entered in the MAC address learning 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. Devices that match static MAC address rules on a port can only receive traffic on that port
and cannot receive traffic on other ports. This may reduce unicast flooding.
