Chapter 6:MAC Address Table
Section I: Basic Operations 72
Adding Static Unicast and Multicast MAC Addresses
This section contains the procedure for assigning a static unicast or
multicast address to a port on the switch. You can assign up to 255 static
MAC addresses per port.
To add a static address to the MAC address table, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Home page, select Configuration.
2. Select the Layer 2 menu option.
3. Select the MAC Address tab.
The MAC Address tab is shown in Figure 19 on page 69.
4. To add a static unicast address, in the View/Add Unicast MAC
Addresses section, click Add. To add a static multicast address, in the
View/Add Multicast MAC Addresses section, click Add.
The Add MAC Address page is shown in Figure 20.

5. In the MAC Address field, enter the new static unicast or multicast
MAC address.
6. In the Port Number field, enter the number of the port on the switch
where you want to assign the static address. If you are adding a static
unicast address, you can enter only one port.
If you are entering a static multicast address, you must specify the
port when the multicast application is located as well as the ports
where the host nodes are connected. Assigning the address only
to 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. You can specify the ports individually (e.g., 1,4,5),
as a range (e.g., 11-14) or both (e.g., 15-17,22,24).
