For the same MA, C address, manually configured MA, C entries have higher priority than automatically generated entries.

The statement is correct. In Huawei's Versatile Routing Platform (VRP) and standard networking principles, MAC address table entries that are manually configured by an administrator (static MAC entries) have a higher priority than entries that are automatically learned by the switch (dynamic MAC entries). If a switch has a dynamically learned entry for a specific MAC address and an administrator configures a static entry for the same MAC address, the static entry will take precedence. This static entry will not be aged out or overwritten by any new dynamic information for that MAC address, ensuring predictable and secure traffic forwarding as defined by the administrator.

The alternative, "False," is incorrect. If automatically generated (dynamic) entries had a higher priority, it would negate the purpose of static MAC address configuration. Static entries are a critical tool for network administrators to enforce security policies (like preventing MAC spoofing) and to create deterministic forwarding paths. Allowing dynamic entries to override them would render this administrative control ineffective.

1. Huawei HedEx Documentation for S Series Switches (VRP-based): In the configuration guides for most Huawei enterprise switches, the "MAC Address Table Management" section details the types and characteristics of MAC address entries. It explicitly states the precedence of static entries over dynamic ones. For example, in the S12700 Series Switches Configuration Guide - Ethernet Switching, the section on "MAC Address Table Overview" describes the different types of MAC entries (dynamic, static, blackhole) and clarifies that static entries are manually configured and have a higher priority than dynamic entries.

2. HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology V1.0 Training Material: The official Huawei training curriculum for the H12-831 exam covers Layer 2 switching fundamentals. In the module discussing MAC address table operation, it is a foundational concept that static MAC address entries are manually configured for stability and security and are not subject to the aging and learning process that affects dynamic entries, thus giving them higher priority.

3. Kurose, J. F., & Ross, K. W. (2021). Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach (8th ed.). Pearson. While not specific to Huawei, this foundational academic textbook explains the operation of network switches (link-layer switches). In Chapter 6, "The Link Layer and LANs," the section on "Link-Layer Switches" describes the switch forwarding table (MAC table). It explains that entries can be self-learned (dynamic) but also manually configured by an administrator for specific purposes, with the manually configured entries being treated as permanent and authoritative over learned entries.
