4.3.6.2 Configure Static Forwarding Table
The forwarding (address) table can hold not only learned addresses, but also up to 30
static unicast addresses. (The sample screen of Figure 18 displays three addresses set
on an 8-port switch.) Static addresses perform as if learned, but are not subject to the
aging process. One of four levels of priority can also be applied to messages containing
the entered MAC address of the destination.
The
Action field can be toggled between Add and Delete. The MAC Address field
requires a valid input from the user; it is not case sensitive. To identify the port being
defined, enter a value in Egress Port field. The default Priority value is Normal — use
the space bar to select a Low, Medium or High level. When the cursor is positioned in
the Apply field, pressing the “Enter” key will complete the update.
To modify a defined address, first delete it — then redefine it with new values.

NOTE: For an address to be accepted as a valid unicast address, its second digit must be even. If
the second digit is odd, an error is reported in the Help Area.
