different. Appendix C lists the difference.

state automatically and stops binding MAC addresses. The bound MAC
addresses won’t age, they can be removed by disabling the dynamic binding
or rebooting the switch.

will acknowledge and bind the latest connecting devices. If the switch is
managed through remote connection, please add the MAC address of the
