CHAPTER 9
Static MAC Forward Setup
Use these screens to configure forwarding rules based on MAC addresses of devices on your
network.
9.1 Introduction to Static MAC Forward Setup
A static MAC address is an address that has been manually entered in the MAC address table.
Static MAC addresses do not age out. When you set up static MAC address rules, you are
setting static MAC addresses for a port. This may reduce the need for broadcasting.
Static MAC address forwarding together with port security allow only computers in the MAC
address table on a port to access the switch. See Chapter 17 on page 129 for more information
on port security.
