Spanning Tree is enabled and the port is in “discarding” status; or the device is just

connected to the port and Spanning Tree is still under calculation, wait until the

Spanning Tree calculation finishes, and the port will learn the MAC address.

If not the problems mentioned above, please check for the switch portand contact

technical support for solution.

19.5 MAC Address Function Extension

19.5.1 MAC Address Binding

19.5.1.1 Introduction to MAC Address Binding

Most switches support MAC address learning, each port can dynamically learn several MAC

addresses, so that forwarding data streams between known MAC addresses within the ports

can be achieved. If a MAC address is aged, the packet destined for that entry will be

broadcasted. In other words, a MAC address learned in a port will be used for forwarding in

that port, if the connection is changed to another port, the switch will learn the MAC address

again to forward data in the new port.

However, in some cases, security or management policy may require MAC addresses to be

bound with the ports, only data stream from the binding MAC are allowed to be forwarded in

the ports. That is to say, after a MAC address is bound to a port, only the data stream destined

for that MAC address can flow in from the binding port, data stream destined for the other

MAC addresses that not bound to the port will not be allowed to pass through the port.

19.5.1.2 MAC Address Binding Configuration Task List

1. Enable MAC address binding function for the ports

2. Lock the MAC addresses for a port

3. MAC address binding property configuration

1. Enable MAC address binding function for the ports

Command

Explanation

Port Mode

switchport port-security

no switchport port-security

Enable MAC address binding function for the

port and lock the port. When a port is locked,

the MAC address learning function for the

port will be disabl

ed: the “no switchport port-

security” command disables the MAC address

binding function for the port, and restores the

MAC address learning function for the port.
