13.1 Configuring L2 Management
Level 2 (L2) management refers to management based on the Media Access Control (MAC)
address of networking devices. A static Media Access Control (MAC) address is an address
that has been manually entered in the MAC address table. Static MAC addresses do not age
out. When you set up static MAC address rules, you are setting static MAC addresses for a
port. This may reduce the need for broadcasting.
Click L2 Address > Management in the navigation panel to display the configuration screen
as shown.
