Static MAC Forward Setup

Use these screens to configure static MAC address forwarding.

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.
