Parameters
dynamic: Specifies dynamic MAC address entries.
static: Specifies static MAC address entries.
mac-address: Specifies a MAC address in the format of H-H-H. When entering a MAC address, you can
omit the leading zeros in each H section. For example, enter f-e2- 1 for 000f-00e2-0001.
vlan vlan-id: Specifies an existing VLAN to which the specified interface belongs. The value range for the
vlan-id argument is 1 to 4094.
Usage guidelines
Generally, the device automatically builds the MAC address table by learning the source MAC
addresses of incoming frames on each interface. To improve the security for an interface, you can
manually add the specific MAC address entries to the MAC address table and bind the user device to the
interface. Because manually configured static entries have higher priority than dynamically learned
entries, using manually configured entries prevents hackers from using forged MAC addresses to steal
data.
