Introduction

This document provides MAC address table configuration examples.

Prerequisites

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 Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to VLAN 100.

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

[Device] mac-address static 0000-fc00-a249 interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/2 vlan 100

Verifying the configuration

# Verify that any 10.0.0.0/24 host in VLAN 100 can communicate with the server. (Details not shown.)

# Verify that the static MAC address entry has been added.

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.

[DeviceB-Vlan-interface100] quit

2.     Configure Device C in the same way Device B was configured. (Details not shown.)

Verifying the configuration

# Ping Device B from Device A. (Details not shown.)

# Verify that Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 on Device A is shut down.

[DeviceA] %Dec 11 09:51:06:309 2016 DeviceA IFNET/3/PHY_UPDOWN: -MDC=1; Physical state on the Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1 changed to down.

%Dec 11 09:51:06:323 2016 DeviceA IFNET/5/LINK_UPDOWN: -MDC=1; Line protocol state on

the interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1 changed to down.

# Verify that Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 is shut down because a MAC address move is detected.

[DeviceA] display interface ten-gigabitethernet 1/0/1

Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1

Current state: mac-address moving down

Line protocol state: DOWN

...

# Verify that Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 comes up automatically after 300 seconds.

[DeviceA] %Dec 11 09:56:07:002 2016 DeviceA IFNET/3/PHY_UPDOWN: -MDC=1; Physical state on the Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1 changed to up.

%Dec 11 09:56:07:004 2016 DeviceA IFNET/5/LINK_UPDOWN: -MDC=1; Line protocol state on

the interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1 changed to up.

# Verify that the MAC address of Device B's VLAN-interface 100 moves between Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/2. You can manually shut down either port to eliminate the loop.
