Action Choose Add or Remove for each entry from the table.
MAC Address Enter a MAC address in this field at the top of
the screen. This is the MAC address of the device that you are
creating a permanent forwarding address for. A total of ten
destination addresses per page will be seen at the bottom of the
screen. The Switch can hold up to 256 entries.
Switch, Module, and Port The Switch, module, and port
number are entered in these fields at the top of the screen. The
Switch will always forward traffic to the specified device
through this port. The bottom of the screen will display each
corresponding destination address for these three items.
Status is a read-only field which lists the status of the static
forwarding table entry. It can be "in use" or "not apply." "Not
apply" means that there is a static filter for the same MAC
address. Static filters always take precedence over static
forwarding entries. The Switch will automatically upgrade the
Status to "in use" once the static filter is removed.
Configure MAC Address Filtering
The Custom Filtering Table contains filtering information
configured into the Switch by (local or network) management
specifying destination addresses which are not allowed to be
forwarded. The Switch will check both the destination and source
MAC addresses on all packets.
To access the Custom Filtering Table, select Configure
Filtering
and
Configuration menu. Then select Configure MAC Address
Filtering from the bottom of the Configure Filtering and
Forwarding table screen. The following screen appears:
