you can modify the port number to which the MAC address is bound.
The new port should be in the same VLAN.

Aging Status:

Displays the Aging Status of the MAC address.

Note:

1. If the corresponding port number of the MAC address is not correct, or the connected port (or

the device) has been changed, the switch can not be forward the packets correctly. Please
reset the static address entry appropriately.

2. If the MAC address of a device has been added to the Static Address Table, connecting the

device to another port will cause its address not to be recognized dynamically by the switch.
Therefore, please ensure the entries in the Static Address Table are correct and valid.

3. The MAC address in the Static Address Table can not be added to the Filtering Address Table

or bound to a port dynamically.

5.4.3 Dynamic Address

The dynamic address can be generated by the auto-learning mechanism of the switch. The
Dynamic Address Table can update automatically by auto-learning or the MAC address aging out
mechanism.

To fully utilize the MAC address table, which has a limited capacity, the switch adopts an aging
mechanism for updating the table. That is, the switch removes the MAC address entries related to
a network device if no packet is received from the device within the aging time.

On this page, you can configure the dynamic MAC address entry.

→MAC Address→Dynamic Address to load the following page.
