Introduction

This document provides MAC address table configuration examples.

Prerequisites

This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions.

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of the MAC address table.

Example: Configuring static MAC address entries

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, for secure communication between users in VLAN 100 and the server, perform the following tasks:

·     Assign GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to VLAN 100.

·     Add a static MAC address entry on Device to bind the server MAC address to GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.

Example: Configuring MAC address move suppression

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 2, Devices A, B, and C form a loop because of cable misconnection, and spanning tree protocols are not enabled on the devices. As a result, MAC addresses are frequently moves among Devices A, B, and C. To deal with loop-triggered MAC flapping, perform the following tasks:

·     Display MAC address move records to locate the Layer 2 loop.

·     Configure MAC address move suppression on Device A to eliminate the Layer 2 loop.

Figure 2 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To meet the network requirements, you must perform the following tasks:

·     For Devices A, B, and C to communicate with each other, assign all inter-connected ports to VLAN 100.

·     Configure MAC address move suppression on one or more ports of Device A.

·     To monitor the port status change of Device A, enable the log monitoring of the current terminal feature.

·     For loop detection, create VLAN-interface 100 and assign an IP address to the interface on each device.

·     To display MAC address move records, ping Device B from Device A.
