address matches a multiport unicast MAC address entry is repeated out of multiple ports.
mac-address: Specifies a MAC address in the format of H-H-H, excluding multicast and all-zero
MAC addresses. When entering a MAC address, you can omit the leading zeros in each H section.
For example, enter f-e2-1 for 000f-00e2-0001.
vlan vlan-id: Specifies an existing VLAN to which the specified interface belongs. The value range
for the vlan-id argument is 1 to 4094.
Usage guidelines
Generally, the device automatically builds the MAC address table by learning the source MAC
addresses of incoming frames on each interface. To improve the security for an interface, you can
manually add the specific MAC address entries to the MAC address table and bind the user device
