Configuring The Mac Address Table - AMX NXA-ENET8-2POE Instruction Manual

Conf iguring the MAC Address Table
Use the MAC Address Table Conf iguration page to configure dynamic address learning or to assign static addresses to specific
ports. Switches store the addresses for all known devices. This information is used to pass traffic directly between the inbound and
outbound ports. All the addresses learned by monitoring traffic are stored in the dynamic address table. You can also manually
configure static addresses that are bound to a specific port.

MAC Address Table Conf iguration parameters
Aging Conf iguration
• Disable Automatic Aging Disables the automatic aging of dynamic entries. (Address aging is enabled by default.)
• Aging Time
MAC Table Learning
• Auto
• Disable
• Secure
• Port Members
1. Click Conf iguration, MAC Table.
2. Change the address aging time if required.
3. Specify the way in which MAC addresses are learned on any port.
4. Add any required static MAC addresses by clicking the Add New Static Entry button, entering the VLAN ID and MAC address,
and marking the ports to which the address is to be mapped.
5. Click Save.
NXA-ENET8-2POE - Instruction Manual
The time after which a learned entry is discarded. (Range: 10-1000000 seconds; Default: 300 seconds)
Learning is done automatically as soon as a frame with an unknown source MAC address is received. (This is
the default.)
No addresses are learned and stored in the MAC address table.
Only static MAC address entries are used, all other frames are dropped. Make sure that the link used for
managing the switch is added to the Static MAC Table before changing to secure learning mode. Otherwise
the management link will be lost, and can only be restored by using another non-secure port or by
connecting to the switch via the serial interface.
Note: If the learning mode for a given port in the MAC Learning Table is grayed out, another software module is
in control of the mode, so that it cannot be changed by the user. An example of such a module is the MAC-
Based Authentication under 802.1X.
Static MAC Table Configuration
VLAN ID - VLAN Identifier. (Range: 1-4095)
MAC Address - Physical address of a device mapped to a port.
A static address can be assigned to a specific port on this switch. Static addresses are bound to the assigned
port and will not be moved. When a static address is seen on another port, the address will be ignored and
will not be written to the address table.
Port identifier.
