Static Addresses

Static MAC addresses are assigned to a specific physical interface and VLAN on the device. If that address is detected on another interface, it’s ignored, and isn’t written to the address table.

To define a static address, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Click MAC Address Tables > Static Addresses.

The Static Addresses page contains the currently defined static addresses.

Step 2

Click Add.

Step 3

Enter the parameters.

  • VLAN ID—Select the VLAN ID for the port.

  • MAC Address—Enter the interface MAC address.

  • Interface—Select an interface for the entry.

  • Status—Select how the entry is treated. The options are:

    • Permanent—The system never removes this MAC address. If the static MAC address is saved in the Startup Configuration, it’s retained after rebooting.

    • Delete on reset—The static MAC address is deleted when the device is reset.

    • Delete on timeout—The MAC address is deleted when aging occurs.

    • Secure—The MAC address is secure when the interface is in classic locked mode.

Step 4

Click Apply. A new entry appears in the table.

Step 5

To delete a static address, click the Delete icon and then click Apply to save the new settings.
