Static MAC Forward Setup
Use these screens to configure static MAC address forwarding.
8.1 Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure forwarding rules based on MAC addresses of devices
on your network.
8.2 Configuring Static MAC Forwarding

Static MAC addresses do not age out. When you set up static MAC address rules, you are
setting static MAC addresses for a port. This may reduce the need for broadcasting.
