Syntax

set fdb {perm | static} mac-addr port port-list

vlan vlan-id [tag tag-value]

Defaults

Usage

You cannot add a multicast or broadcast address as a permanent or static

FDB entry.

Examples

The following command adds a permanent entry for MAC address

00:11:22:aa:bb:cc on ports 1 in VLAN blue:

PROMPT# set fdb perm 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc port 1 vlan blue

success: change accepted.

perm Adds a permanent entry. A permanent entry does not age out

and remains in the database even after a reboot, reset, or

power cycle.

static Adds a static entry. A static entry does not age out, but is

removed from the database after a reboot, reset, or power

cycle.

mac-addr Destination MAC address of the entry. Use colons to

separate the octets (for example, 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc).

port port-list List of physical destination ports for which to add the entry.

vlan vlan-id Name or number of a VLAN of which the port is a member.

The entry is added only for the specified VLAN.

tag tag-value VLAN tag value that identifies a virtual port. You can

specify a number from 1 through 4093. If you do not specify

a tag value, an entry is created for an untagged interface

only. If you specify a tag value, an entry is created only for

the specified tagged interface.
