Business Series Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Admin > Static Address

Admin > Static Address

The Static Address screen lets you assign a static address

to a specific interface on the Switch. A static address is

bound to its assigned interface and cannot be moved. If

a static address is seen on an interface to which it is not

assigned, the address is ignored and is not written to the

address table.
A list of all static addresses on the Switch is displayed at

the bottom of the Static Address screen. The top section

of the screen contains the following fields that you use to

create static address entries.

Interface

The interface that is associated with the static

address. Select Port or LAG, then select the desired

interface from the accompanying drop-down menu.

MAC Address

This is the physical address that is being

mapped to the specified interface.

VLAN ID

The VLAN ID number (1-4093) of the configured

VLAN that is associated with the specified interface. If you

use this field the VLAN Name field is disabled.

VLAN Name

The name of the VLAN associated with the

specified interface. If you use this field, the VLAN ID field

is disabled.

Status

The static address type. The possible values are::

Permanent (default)

Keep the entry permanently.

Delete on Reset

Delete the entry when the Switch is

reset.

Delete on Timeout

Delete the entry when a timeout

occurs. The default timeout period is 300 seconds.

Secure

The entry is defined for locked ports.

After you have entered the information listed above, click

Add to List. The static address will then appear in the list

of static addresses. To delete a static MAC address from

the list, select the entry in the list, then click Remove.

Admin > Dynamic Address

Admin > Dynamic Address

The Dynamic Address Table contains MAC addresses

learned by monitoring the source address on inbound

traffic. When the destination address of inbound traffic is

found in the table, packets intended for that address are

forwarded directly to the associated port. Otherwise, the

traffic is flooded to all ports.
The Dynamic Address screen lets you query the table to find

specific dynamic MAC addresses, or display MAC addresses

associated with a specific interface or VLAN. Query criteria

include interface type, MAC address, VLAN, and table sort

key. You can also set the Dynamic MAC Address Table’s

address aging parameter or clear the table.

Address Aging

Specifies the amount of time (in seconds)

that a MAC address remains in the Dynamic MAC Address

table before it times out, if no traffic from the source is

detected. The default value is 00 seconds.

Clear Table

If checked, this clears the MAC Address

table.

Query

Interface

Use this to query the table for a specific port or

LAG. Select Port or LAG and select the interface from the

drop-down menu.

MAC Address

Use this to query the table for a specific

MAC address. Enter the MAC address in the field.

VLAN ID

Use this to query the table for a specific VLAN ID.

Enter the VLAN ID in the field.

Address Table Sort Key

Specifies how the search results

will be sorted—by Address, VLAN, or Interface.
Specify the search criteria (Interface, MAC Address, or

VLAN) and the sort method for the search results, then

click Query to display the dynamic addresses matching

the search criteria.
