Enabling selective flooding for a MAC address
CAUTION:
Do not configure selective flooding for a unicast MAC address that might be learned at an edge
device's data plane. The configuration can cause packets destined for the MAC address to be dropped on
remote devices after they learn the MAC address through EVI IS-IS.
By default, the device floods unknown unicast and multicast frames only to internal interfaces.
If an application uses a special multicast address that requires flooding across sites and cannot be
added to a multicast forwarding table by IGMP snooping, enable selective flooding for the multicast
address.

disabled for all MAC addresses.
Enabling MAC address learning at the ingress
This feature is available in Release 11xx.
The device can learn the source MAC address of a packet when it receives the packet at the ingress or
when it sends out the packet at the egress.
For the device to correctly learn the source MAC address of a packet to be tunneled by EVI, you must
enable MAC address learning at the ingress. At the egress, the device learns the source MAC address
from the outer Ethernet header added after EVI encapsulation. The learned source MAC address is the
MAC address of the outgoing interface instead of the source MAC address in the inner Ethernet header.
