Mac Address - Planet WGS-5225-8P2SV User Manual

4.5.4.4 MAC Address

On this page, you may add and delete static and sticky MAC addresses managed by Port Security.
Port security defines three types of MAC addresses, of which static and sticky can be added and removed on this
page:

Dynamic: A MAC address learned through learn frames coming to the Port Security module while the
interface in qeustion is not in sticky mode. Dynamic entries disappear if it ages out or if the interface link
goes down.

Static: A MAC address added by end-user through management. Static MAC addresses are not subject
to aging and will be added to the MAC address table once Port Security gets enabled on the interface.
Static entries are part of the running-config and will survive interface link state changes and reboots if
saved to startup-config. Static entries can be added to the running-config at any time whether or not Port
Security is enabled.

Sticky: When the interface is in sticky mode, all entries that would otherwise have been learned as
dynamic are learned as sticky.
Like static entries, sticky entries are part of the running-config and will survive interface link state changes
and reboots if saved to the startup-config.
Though not the intention with Sticky entries, they can be added by management to the running-config at
any time whether or not Port Security is enabled on the interface, as long as the interface is in Sticky
mode. Sticky entries will disappear if the interface is taken out of Sticky mode.
