1.1.3 mac-address
Syntax
l In system view:
mac-address { static | dynamic | blackhole } mac-address interface interface-type interface-number vlan vlan-id
undo mac-address [ mac-address-attribute ]
l In port view:
mac-address { static | dynamic | blackhole } mac-address vlan vlan-id
undo mac-address { static | dynamic | blackhole } mac-address vlan vlan-id
View
System view, port view
Parameter
static: Specifies that the MAC address entry to be added/updated is of static type.
dynamic: Specifies that the MAC address entry to be added/updated is of dynamic type.
blackhole: Specifies the MAC address entry to be added/updated is of blackhole type.
mac-address: MAC address.
interface-type: Port type.
interface-number: Port number.
vlan-id: VLAN ID. This argument ranges from 1 to 4,094.
mac-address-attribute: String used to specify the MAC address entries to be removed, as described in Table 1-3.
Table 1-3 Description on the mac-address-attribute argument
Value |
Description |
{ static | dynamic | blackhole } interface interface-type interface-number |
Removes the static, dynamic, or blackhole MAC address entries concerning a specified port. |
{ static | dynamic | blackhole } vlan vlan-id |
Removes the static, dynamic, or blackhole MAC address entries concerning a specified VLAN. |
{ static | dynamic | blackhole } mac-address [ interface interface-type interface-number ] vlan vlan-id |
Removes a specified static, dynamic, or blackhole MAC address entry. |
interface interface-type interface-number |
Removes all the MAC address entries concerning a specified port. |
vlan vlan-id |
Removes all the MAC address entries concerning a specified VLAN. |
mac-address [ interface interface-type interface-number ] vlan vlan-id |
Removes a specified MAC address entry. |
Description
Use the mac-address command to add/modify a MAC address entry.
Use the undo mac-address command to remove one or more MAC address entries.
When being executed in port view, these two commands only apply to the current port. In this case, the interface keyword is unnecessary.
If the MAC address you input in the mac-address command already exists in the MAC address table, the system will modify the attributes of the corresponding MAC address entry according to your settings in the command.
You can remove all MAC address entries (unicast MAC addresses only) concerning a specific port, or remove a specific type of MAC address entries, such as the addresses learnt by the system, dynamic or static MAC address entries configured, or blackhole addresses.
Example
# Configure a static MAC address entry with the following settings:
l MAC address: 000f-e201-0101
l Outbound port: Ethernet1/0/1 port
l Ethernet1/0/1 port belongs to VLAN 2.

1.1.4 mac-address max-mac-count
Syntax
mac-address max-mac-count count
undo mac-address max-mac-count
View
Ethernet port view
Parameter
count: Maximum number of MAC addresses a port can learn. This argument ranges from 0 to 4,096. A value of 0 disables the port from learning MAC addresses.
Description
Use the mac-address max-mac-count command to set the maximum number of MAC addresses an Ethernet port can learn.
Use the undo mac-address max-mac-count command to cancel the limitation on the number of MAC addresses an Ethernet port can learn.
By default, the number of MAC addresses an Ethernet port can learn is unlimited.
When you use the mac-address max-mac-count command, the port stops learning MAC addresses after the number of MAC addresses it learned reaches the value of the count argument you provided. You can use the undo command to cancel this limit so that the port can learn an unlimited number of MAC addresses. By default, the port learns an unlimited number of MAC addresses.
Related command: mac-address, mac-address timer.
Example
# Set the maximum number of MAC addresses Ethernet1/0/3 port can learn to 600.

1.1.5 mac-address timer
Syntax
mac-address timer { aging age | no-aging }
undo mac-address timer aging
View
System view
Parameter
aging age: Specifies the aging time (in seconds) for layer 2 dynamic MAC address entries. The age argument ranges from 10 to 1000000 and defaults to 300.
no-aging: Specifies not to age dynamic MAC address entries.
Description
Use the mac-address timer command to set the aging time for dynamic MAC address entries.
Use the undo mac-address timer command to restore the default aging time.
Set the aging time of dynamic MAC address entries as required but ensure that the aging time does not decrease the layer 2 packet forwarding performance of the switch.
l If the aging time is too short, the MAC address entries that are still valid may be removed. Upon receiving a packet destined for a MAC address that is already removed, the switch broadcasts the packet through all its ports in the VLAN which the packet belongs to. This decreases the operating performance of the switch.
l If the aging time is too long, MAC address entries may still exist even if they turn invalid. This causes the switch to be unable to update its MAC address table in time. In this case, the MAC address table cannot reflect the position changes of network devices in time.
Example
# Set the aging time of MAC address entries to 500 seconds.
