3-4-3. Static Forward
Function Name:
Static Forward
Function Description:
Static Forward is a function that allows the user in the static forward table to
access a specified port of the switch. Static Forward table associated with a
specified port of a switch is set up by manually inputting MAC address and its
alias name.
When a MAC address is assigned to a specific port, all of the switch’s traffics
sent to this MAC address will be forwarded to this port.
For adding a MAC address entry in the allowed table, you just need to fill in
four parameters: MAC address, associated port, VID and Alias. Just select the
existed MAC address entry you want and click <Delete> button, you also can
remove it.
