Adding Static Unicast and Multicast MAC Addresses

This section contains the procedure for adding static addresses to the
switch. A MAC address added to the table with this procedure remains
permanently in the table, even when the source end node is inactive.
You can assign up to 255 static MAC addresses per port on the AT-8400
Series switch.

Note

When you add a static multicast address you must assign the
address to all ports on the switch that belong to the multicast group.
This includes the ports connected to the multicast application
server and the host nodes. Failure to assign the address to all ports
in the group prevents the multicast packets from reaching all
appropriate nodes.

To add a static unicast or multicast address to the MAC address table,
perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 7 to select MAC Address Tables.

The MAC Address Tables Menu is shown in Figure 112 on page
310.

2. From the MAC Address Tables menu, type 1 to select Configure MAC

Addresses.

The Configure MAC Addresses menu is shown in Figure 115.
