It may be decided that it is desirable
for a MAC address to be permanently assigned to an interface. The
reasons for assigning a permanent MAC address to an interface include:
- The MAC address will not be aged out
automatically by the switch.
- A specific server or user
workstation must be attached to the port and the MAC address is
known.
- Security is enhanced.
To set a static MAC address entry for a
switch:
Switch(config)#mac-address-table
static
<mac-address of host>
interface FastEthernet
<Ethernet numer> vlan
To remove this entry use the
no form of
the command:
Switch(config)#no mac-address-table static
<mac-address of host>
interface FastEthernet <Ethernet number> vlan
<vlan name>
