Add the interface to a
multiport unicast MAC

address entry.

mac-address multiport
mac-address vlan vlan-id

By default, no multiport unicast
MAC address entry is configured
on an interface.
Make sure you have created the
VLAN and assigned the interface

to the VLAN.
Do not configure an interface as
the output interface of a multiport

unicast MAC address entry if the

interface receives frames destined
for the multiport unicast MAC

address. Otherwise, the frames are

flooded in the VLAN to which they
belong.

Disabling MAC address learning

MAC address learning is enabled by default. To prevent the MAC address table from being saturated
when the device is experiencing attacks, disable MAC address learning. For example, you can disable

MAC address learning to prevent the device from being attacked by a large amount of frames with

different source MAC addresses.

Disabling global MAC address learning

Step Command

2.

Disable global MAC address
learning.

undo mac-address mac-learning
enable

By default, global MAC address
learning is enabled.

Disabling global MAC address learning disables the learning function on all interfaces.
The global MAC address learning configuration does not take effect in a TRILL network, in a VPLS VSI, or

for an S-channel in an EVB. For information about the TRILL network, see TRILL Configuration Guide. For

information about VSI, see MPLS Configuration Guide. For information about S-channel and EVB, see

EVB Configuration Guide.
When MAC address learning is disabled, the learned MAC addresses remain valid until they age out.
