Adding Static Unicast or Multicast MAC Addresses

This section contains the procedure for assigning a static unicast or
multicast address to a port. A switch port can have up to 255 static MAC
addresses.

To add a static address to the MAC address table:

1. From the Home page, click the Configuration button.

2. From the Configuration menu, click the Layer 2 button.

3. If the MAC Address tab is not selected, click it. The tab is shown in

Figure 16 on page 64.

4. To add a static unicast address, click the Add button in the View/Add

Unicast MAC Addresses section. To add a static multicast address,
click the Add button in the View/Add Multicast MAC Addresses
section. The Add MAC Address page is shown in Figure 18.

5. Click the MAC Address field and enter the new static unicast or

multicast MAC address.

6. Click the Port Number field and enter the number of the stack port

where you want to assign the static address. You can assign a static
unicast address to just one port. Port numbers are entered in this
format:

stack ID:port number

For a static multicast address, specify both the port when the multicast
application is located and the ports where the host nodes are
connected. The host nodes will not receive the multicast packets if you
only specify the multicast application port.
