Static Forwarding Table - D-Link DES-3624 Series User Manual

♦ Lock Address Table Mostly used for security purposes, when the forwarding table is locked the Switch
will no longer learn the MAC addresses for new hosts. If your network configuration doesn't change,
locking the forwarding table helps keep intruders off your network since any packet coming from an
unknown source address will be dropped by the Switch.
♦ Address Lookup Mode Select from: Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6, or Level 7.
Note that a new setting of the Address Lockup Mode will not take effect until the next Switch reboot.
♦ MAC Address Aging Enter the desired MAC address age-out time in this field (10 to 9999 seconds).

Static Forwarding Table

MAC forwarding allows the Switch to permanently forward outbound traffic to specific destination MAC
addresses over a specified port. You can also use this feature to restrict inbound traffic based on source MAC
addresses.
