15. Managing the MAC Address Table
Switches learn the MAC addresses of PCs or workstations that are connected to their switch ports by examining the source address of frames that are received on that port.

16. Configuring Static MAC Addresses

17. Configuring Port Security

18. Executing Adds, Moves, and Changes

19. Managing Switch Operation
An administrator should document and maintain the operational configuration files for networking devices.
The most recent running-configuration file should be backed up on a server or disk.
The Cisco IOS Software should also be backed up to a local server. The Cisco IOS Software can then be reloaded to Flash memory if needed.

20. Passwords
For security and management purposes, passwords must be set on the console and vty lines.
An enable password and an enable secret password must also be set.
