Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
66 Using the Console Interface
♦ Switch, Module, and Port The Switch, module, and port number are entered in these fields at the top
of the screen. The Switch will always forward traffic to the specified device through this port. The
bottom of the screen will display each corresponding destination address for these three items.
Status is a read-only field which lists the status of the static forwarding table entry. It can be “in use” or
“not apply.” “Not apply” means that there is a static filter for the same MAC address. Static filters always
take precedence over static forwarding entries. The Switch will automatically upgrade the Status to “in
use” once the static filter is removed.
Configure MAC Address Filtering
The Custom Filtering Table contains filtering information configured into the Switch by (local or network)
management specifying destination addresses which are not allowed to be forwarded. The Switch will check
both the destination and source MAC addresses on all packets.
To access the Custom Filtering Table, select Configure Filtering and Forwarding Table from the
System Configuration menu. Then select Configure MAC Address Filtering from the bottom of the
Configure Filtering and Forwarding table screen. The following screen appears:
Figure 6-22. Custom Filtering Table screen
To make a change to the Custom Filtering Table, choose Add or Remove in the Action field. Then enter the
MAC Address and press APPLY.
