Requirements
Server is connected to Switch through port Ethernet 1/0/2. Configure a static MAC
address containing the Server MAC address on Switch, so that Switch can unicast
rather than broadcast packets destined for Server through Ethernet 1/0/2. Port
Ethernet 1/0/10 is connected with a network management server (NMS). For
network management security, configure Ethernet 1/0/10 to permit the access of
this NMS only.
