  • Page 93 MAC Address Table Use the MAC address table to ensure the port security. You can add a static MAC address; it remains in the switch's address table, regardless of whether the device is physically connected to the switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address when the disconnected or powered-off device is active on the network again.
