Chapter 8: MAC Address Table Commands
156 Section I: Basic Operations
ADD SWITCH FDB|FILTER
Syntax
add switch fdb|filter destaddress|macaddress= macaddress
port= port vlan= name |vid
Note
The FDB and FILTER keywords are equivalent.
Parameters
destaddress or Specifies the static unicast or multicast address to be
macaddress added to the switch’s MAC address table. The
parameters are equivalent. The address can be
entered in either of the following formats:
xxxxxxxxxxxx or xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
port Specifies the port(s) to which the MAC address is to
be assigned. You can specify only one port if you are
adding a unicast address. You can specify more than
one port if you are entering a multicast address.
vlan Specifies the name or the VID of the VLAN to which
the node designated by the MAC address is a
member.
Description
This command adds static unicast and multicast MAC addresses to the
switch’s MAC address table. A MAC address added with this command is
never timed out from the MAC address table, even when the end node or,
in the case of a multicast address, the multicast application is inactive.
For a static multicast address, the address must be assigned to the port
when the multicast application is located and to the ports where the host
nodes are connected. The multicast packets will not be properly forwarded
to the host nodes if you assign the address only to the port where the
multicast application is located.
Examples
The following command adds the static MAC address 00:A0:D2:18:1A:11
to port 7. It assumes the port where the MAC address is to be assigned is
a member of the Default_VLAN:
add switch fdb macaddress=00A0D2181A11 port=7
vlan=default_vlan
