Chapter 8: MAC Address Table Commands
130 Section I: Basic Operations
ADD SWITCH FDB|FILTER
Syntax
add switch fdb|filter destaddress|macaddress= macaddress
port= port 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 stack’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) for the MAC address. You can
specify only one port when adding a unicast address,
and more than one port when adding a multicast
address. Port numbers are specified in the following
format:
module ID.port number
For instructions, refer to “Port Numbers in
Commands” on page 40.
vlan Specifies the name or VID of the VLAN where the
node designated by the MAC address is a member.
Description
This command adds static unicast and multicast MAC addresses to the
stack’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, the address must be
assigned to the port when the multicast application is located and to the
ports where the host nodes are connected. Assigning the address to only
the port where the multicast application is located will result in the failure
of the multicast packets to be properly forwarded to the host nodes.
