Mac-Address-Table Station-Move Threshold - Dell C9000 Series Reference Manual

mac-address-table station-move threshold

Specify the threshold and time interval for the maximum number of station moves on PE ports. When the
number of station moves for a specified MAC address exceeds the configured threshold in the configured
time, a loop is detected on PE ports. The loop is prevented by bringing down the line protocol on all active
ports in the learned path, except for the port with the lowest interface index (ifIndex).

Command History
The following is a list of the Dell Networking OS version history for this command.
Version
9.10(0.0)
9.9(0.0)
Usage Information As xSTP protocols are not supported on PEs, use this command to detect possible
loops on PE ports.
Use this command in Configuration Terminal Batch mode to detect the possible loops
in a dual-homing setup.
If a station move for a MAC address is detected above the configured threshold and
within the specified time, a syslog message is triggered with the port information. All
ports on which the station move was detected are shut down, except for the port with
the lowest interface index. Only the port with the lowest ifIndex remains active. For
example:
Jun 18 09:55:35: %RPM0-P:RP %MACMGR-1-PE LOOP DETECTION: Loop
occurred on PE interfaces:oldInterface: peGigE 0/2/47,
newInterface: peGigE 0/1/20,vlanId: 3902, macAddr: 00:aa:00:00:00:
Enter the keyword threshold with the maximum number of
times a MAC-address station move is detected within the
configured interval. The range is from 5 to 50.
Enter the keyword interval with the interval (in seconds). The
range is from 1 to 60.
