Configure Mac Address Filtering - D-Link DES-3624 Series User Manual

Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User's Guide
By mapping a MAC address to a destination port, the switch
can permanently forward traffic for a specified device through a
specific port, even after long periods of network inactivity or
during times of network congestion.
The following fields at the top of the screen can be set:
♦ 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.
