3.6.2 Static MAC Address
A static MAC address table entry contains a MAC address and its corresponding switch port. All the packets taking that
MAC address as their destination will be forwarded to the corresponding switch port.
The static MAC address won’t age, which differs from the dynamic MAC address. The static MAC address table entry is
always valid before it is deleted.
Supposing an entry, whose MAC address 00304F000001 and corresponding port number is 1, it is added to the static MAC
address table. All the packets routing to the addresses of 00304F000001 egress for the switch port 1. The static entry
obliges the devices of 00304F000001 to be connected to port 1; otherwise, that device cannot be accessed. Static MAC
addresses are free of MAC learning, which enhances the efficiency of packets forwarding. The MAC addresses already
configured in static MAC address table cannot be added to filtering MAC address table.
The static MAC address table capacity of different types of switches may be different. The screen in Figure 3-17
appears.
