MAC Address Table

In addition to the 802.1x security, the Port Security Configuration uses MAC
addresses to ensure additional port security.
Static MAC Address
The Port Security Configuration menu allows you to add a static MAC address. The
static MAC address will remain in the switch's address table, regardless of whether or
not the device is physically connected to the switch. This eliminates the need for the
switch to re-learn a device's MAC address when the disconnected or powered-off device
once again becomes active on the network. You can add/modify/delete a static MAC
address.
To add a static MAC address in switch MAC table, follow this procedure:
1. MAC Address - enter the MAC address of the port that should permanently
forward traffic, regardless of device activity.
2. Port No. – use the Space bar to select the port number.
3. VLAN ID - enter the MAC address, and VLAN ID (if that MAC address belongs to
a VLAN group).
4. Click Add to save the configuration.
