2.9 Address Management

The GSS-8T2SFP provides up to 10 static MAC address entries. These entries always exist in the

switch’s address table and will never be dropped through normal switch MAC aging out. (All

dynamic MAC entries from the address learning mechanism will be retained in the address table for

up to 300 seconds.)

If the switch administrator adds a static MAC address entry in to the switch and a 802.1Q VLAN is

not enabled, the GSS-8T2SFP will search for the MAC address in the address table according to the

MAC address.

If a 802.1Q VLAN is enabled, the GSS-8T2SFP will search this MAC address in the address table

according to both the MAC address and the VLAN id. The priority of the static entry is inserted for

MAC-Based QOS services. If the switch administrator enables QOS and does not select Port-Based

or 802.1P based QOS types, then the priority ID of the ingress packets is equal to the priority of the

matched MAC address that is inserted in the static MAC address table.
