Static Address Setting

A static address can be assigned to a specific interface on the switch. Static addresses are
bound to the assigned interface and will not be reassigned. When a static address is detected
on another interface, the address will be ignored and will not be written to the address table.
Static Address Counts—The number of manually configured addresses. The switch allows
1000 Static Address Counts.
Interface—Port or LAG associated with the device assigned a static address.
MAC Address—Physical address of a device mapped to this interface.
VLAN—ID of a configured VLAN (1-4094).
Specify the interface, the static MAC address, and VLAN, then click Add. The current static
addresses on the switch are all listed text box. To delete a static MAC address from the
forwarding database, select the entry in the displayed list, then click Remove.

Dynamic Address Query

The switch's dynamic address table contains the MAC addresses learned by monitoring the
source address for traffic entering the switch. When the destination address for inbound traffic
is found in the database, the packets intended for that address are forwarded directly to the
associated port. Otherwise, the traffic is flooded to all ports.
You can query the forwarding database to find specific dynamic MAC addresses, or view MAC
addresses associated with a specific interface or VLAN.
Dynamic Address Counts—The number of addresses dynamically learned on the switch.
Interface—Indicates to display MAC addresses for a specific port or LAG.
MAC Address—Indicates to display details for a specific MAC address.
VLAN—Indicates to display MAC addresses for a specific configured VLAN (1-4094).
Address Table Sort Key—Sorts the information displayed based on MAC address, VLAN, or
interface (port or LAG).
