Section I: Basic Operations

ADD SWITCH FDB|FILTER

Syntax

add switch fdb|filter destaddress|macaddress=

macaddress

port=

port

vlan=

vlan-name

|

vid

Note

The FDB and FILTER keywords are equivalent.

Parameters

destaddress or

Specifies the static unicast or multicast address to be

macaddress

added to the switch’s MAC address table. The
parameters are equivalent. The address can be
entered in either of the following formats:

xxxxxxxxxxxx or xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

port

Specifies the port(s) where the MAC address is to be
assigned. You can specify only one port when adding
a unicast address. You can specify more than one
port when adding a multicast address.

vlan

Specifies the name or VID of the VLAN where the
node designated by the MAC address is a member.

Description

This command is used to add static unicast and multicast MAC addresses
to the switch’s MAC address table. A MAC address added with this
command is never timed out from the MAC address table, even when the
end node or, in the case of a multicast address, the multicast application is
inactive.

If you are entering a static multicast address, you must assign the address
to the port where the multicast application is located and to the ports
where the host nodes are connected. The multicast packets will not be
forwarded to the host nodes if you assign the address to only the port
where the multicast application is located.

Examples

The following command adds the static MAC address 00:A0:D2:18:1A:11
to port 7. It assumes the port where the MAC address is to be assigned is
a member of the Default_VLAN:

add switch fdb macaddress=00:A0:D2:18:1A:11 port=7
vlan=default_vlan
