11.10 MAC Forwarding

This chapter discusses MAC address forwarding.

11.10.1 Introduction to Static MAC Forward Setup

A static MAC address entry is an address that has been manually entered in the MAC address
learning 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. Devices that match static MAC address
rules on a port can only receive traffic on that port and cannot receive traffic on other ports.
This may reduce unicast flooding.

11.10.2 Configuring Static MAC Forwarding

1 In the Device Panel list, select a device and then right-click.

2 Click Configuration, Switch Configuration and then the MAC Forwarding tab to

display the following screen.

Shared Secret

Specify a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be

shared between the external RADIUS server and the switch. This key is not

sent over the network. This key must be the same on the external RADIUS

server and the switch.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the switch.
