5-4-6-2. Static MAC Address
When a static MAC address is added, it remains in the switch's address table,
regardless of whether or not the device is physically connected to the switch.
This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's MAC address when
the device is disconnected or powered-off.
To add a static MAC address:
1. Click on Administrator on the main menu.
2. Click on Filter Database.
3. Click Static MAC Addresses. In the MAC address box, enter the MAC
address to and from which the port should permanently forward traffic,
regardless of the device's network activity.
4. In the Port Number box, select a port number.
5. If tag-based (IEEE 802.1Q) VLANs are set up on the switch, static
addresses are associated with individual VLANs. Type the VID (tag-based
VLANs) to associate with the MAC address.
6. Click Add.
