ADD SWITCH FDB
Syntax
add switch fdb macaddress=macaddress port=port
vlan=name|vid
Parameters
macaddress
Specifies the static unicast or multicast address
added to the switch’s MAC address table. The
address can be entered in either of the following
formats:
xxxxxxxxxxxx or xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
port
Specifies the port to which the MAC address is
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 VLAN to which the node designated by
the MAC address is a member. You can identify the
VLAN by name or VID.
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.
If you are entering 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. 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.
Examples
The following command adds the static MAC address 00:A0:D2:18:1A:11
to Port 7 in Slot 6. It assumes the node that belongs to the MAC address
is a member of the Default_VLAN, which has a VID of 1:
add switch fdb macaddress=00A0D2181A11 port=6.7
vlan=1
