Figure 3-12 Register Product Static MAC Switches store the MAC addresses for all known devices in the attached network. This information is used to forward traffic directly between the inbound and outbound ports. All the MAC addresses learned by monitoring traffic are stored in a dynamic address table, which removes (ages out) any addresses that are not "seen" for a specified time period . You can also manually configure static MAC addresses that are assigned to specific ports on the switch. [. . . ] To control the power supply within the switch's budget, ports set at critical or high priority have power enabled in preference to those ports set at low priority. For example, when a device is connected to a port set to critical priority, the switch supplies the required power, if necessary by dropping power to ports set for a lower priority. If power is dropped to some low-priority ports and later the power demands on the switch fall back within its budget, the dropped power is automatically restored. If PoE port priority is not configured, power is automatically allocated to the port according its port number, ie. [. . . ]
