REMOVE-ALL-
MAC-ON-PORT 4
This event is generated when all the MAC
addresses on a particular port are flushed,
for example, when the link goes down. Management software
should clear all the
MAC addresses learnt
on this particular port
from its forwarding
table.
(0, Port)
REMOVE-ALL-
MAC-ON-VLAN 5
This event is generated when the MAC
addresses learnt on all ports, in a
particular VLAN are flushed, for example,
by using the no vlan command.
Management software
should clear all the
MAC addresses learnt
on this particular VLAN
from its forwarding
table. (VLAN, 0)
REMOVE-ALL-
MAC-ON-
VLAN-PORT 6
This event is generated when the MAC
addresses, are flushed for a particular
port in a particular VLAN, for example by
a protocol flush event.
Management software
should clear all the
MAC addresses learnt
on this particular VLAN
and port from its
forwarding table. (VLAN, Port)
MAC-MOVE 7
This event is generated when the MAC
address moves from an old port to a new
port in the same VLAN.
Management software
should move the MAC
address from the old
port to the specified
new port learnt in its
forwarding table. (VLAN, new
port)
Working with MAC-notification events
• Each event stored in the buffer queue is in the order in which the event occurred in the system.
• The number of events that can be stored in the buffer queue is by default 4000. This value is
configurable up to 16000 through the command line interface.
• An out-of-band buffer full event trap is sent to the management software in the event of a buffer full.
The system then flushes the existing buffer queue.
• You can configure a periodic interval at which point a MAC-notification trap should be sent to the
management software. The interval can range from 1 to 3600 seconds. The default is 3 seconds.
• Each trap message sent on the notification interval can have one or more MAC-notification events
taken from the buffer queue in the first-in first-out order.
• One or more SNMP trap messages can be sent on the expiry of a MAC-notification interval.
However, the maximum number of trap messages that can be sent is limited to 5.
Displaying and modifying system parameter default settings
Brocade devices have default table sizes for the system parameters shown in the following display
outputs. The table sizes determine the maximum number of entries the tables can hold. You can adjust
individual table sizes to accommodate your configuration needs.
