MAC Address Table
Use the MAC address table to ensure the port security.
You can add a static MAC address; it remains in the switch's address table, regardless of whether the
device is physically connected to the switch. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's
MAC address when the disconnected or powered-off device is active on the network again. You can add /
modify / delete a static MAC address.
