Changing Forwarding and Static Database Entries
The only entries that can be changed or deleted in the Filtering Database are static
entries. If the entry you wish to change or delete is a forwarding entry, you must
add it to the Static Table. The Static Table (
Figure 3-11 ) is used to change a
forwarding entry to a static or permanent entry, or make changes to existing static
entries. To open the Static Table window:
1. Open the Filtering Database window by clicking on the Front Panel
button; drag down to Filtering Database to display the Filtering Database
window.
2. If the Filtering Database window displays Forwarding entries, highlight the
entry you want to change and click on the Add to Static Table button.
or
If the Filtering Database window displays Static entries, highlight an entry and
click on the Change button.

Static Address
The Static Address Þeld will display the MAC address of the entry you
highlighted in the Filtering Database window. If no entry was selected, the
address Þeld will contain zeros, and a valid MAC address may be entered.
NOTE
It is also possible to open the Static Table in either case without highlighting an entry, by
clicking on the Add To Static Table button. The static address Þeld will appear blank.
Enter the MAC address that you want to add to the Static Table.
