static vs dynamic mac address table entry

[SJ K]

Hi all,

Can i check, if I create a static mac address entry of device A to int fa0/1 in the mac address table of a switch,
 

a) will device A be able to plug into other switchport and send data out ?
b) will device B be able to plug into fa0/1 and send data out ?

is it that if i set a static entry in a mac address table,

- that particular static mac address can only use that port ? or
- that port can only be use that particular mac address ? (but the mac address/device can use other ports as well)

Regards,

Hi,

- that particular static mac address can only use that port ?

Yes, you can only plug a device to that port that has that MAC address.

You can also plug the same device to other ports that don't have any static MAC address.

Hi Reza,

Thanks for the reply, but it is said that having the mac address static of a device set static in a mac address table, will not allow the same device to be plug into other switch ports.
