Adding Static Unicast and Multicast MAC Addresses
This section contains the procedure for assigning a static unicast or
multicast address to a port on the switch. You can assign up to 255 static
MAC addresses per port.
To add a static address to the MAC address table, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Home page, select Configuration.
2. Select the Layer 2 menu option.
3. Select the MAC Address tab.
The MAC Address tab is shown in Figure 19 on page 85.

View/Add Multicast MAC Addresses section, click Add.

unicast address, you can enter only one port.
If you are entering a static multicast address, you must specify the port
when the multicast application is located as well as the ports where the
host nodes are connected. Assigning the address only to the port
where the multicast application is located will result in the failure of the
multicast packets to be properly forwarded to the host nodes. You can
