displayed for each corresponding destination address.

♦ Under the Status heading, the status will be displayed for

each corresponding destination address. The status of the

MAC address can be ‘‘in use’’ or ‘‘not apply.’’ ‘‘Not apply’’

means the entry is conflicting with a higher priority function,

and may display ‘‘in use’’ at a later time.

By mapping a port to a destination MAC address, the switch can

permanently forward traffic to the specified device, even after long

periods of network inactivity or during times of network congestion.

To make a change to the Custom Forwarding Table, choose

either Add or Remove in the Action field. Then enter the MAC

Address, the Port number that permanently forwards traffic

from the specified device, regardless of the device’s network

activity or current network congestion, and press APPLY.
