Fdb Static Entries; Trunking Support For Fdb Static Entries; Configuring A Static Fdb Entry - HP 438031-B21 - 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Application Manual

FDB static entries

Static entries in the Forwarding Database (FDB) allow the switch to forward packets without flooding ports
to perform a lookup. A FDB static entry is a MAC address associated with a specific port and VLAN. The
switch supports 128 static entries. Static entries are manually configured, using the following command:
/cfg/l2/fdb/static
FDB static entries are permanent, so the FDB Aging value does not apply to them. Static entries are
manually added to the FDB, and manually deleted from the FDB.
Incoming frames that contain the static entry as the source MAC can use only ports configured for the
static entry.

Trunking support for FDB static entries

A FDB static entry can be added to a port that is a member of a trunk group, as follows:
Static (manually configured) trunk group
Dynamic (LACP) trunk group
The trunk group supports the FDB static entry. If the port with the static entry fails, other ports in the trunk
handle the traffic. If the port is removed from the trunk, the static entry is removed from the trunk, but
remains configured on the port.
The FDB information commands (/info/l2/fdb) display trunk support for static FDB entries, if
applicable:

Configuring a static FDB entry

Perform the following actions to configure a static FDB entry:
Main# /cfg/l2/fdb/static
>> Static FDB# add 00:60:af:00:02:30
Enter VLAN number: 2
Enter port (1-25): 2
>> Static FDB# apply
>> Static FDB# save
