Provision MAC Address Limiting and Aging

To prevent MAC Address storms at the customer Ethernet/Gigabit‐Ethernet ports, the
NetVanta 800 series supports MAC Address Limiting. The NetVanta learns MAC addresses
from traffic ingressing the customer interface; once the NetVanta learns the provisioned limit,
it does not allow any additional MAC addresses to pass toward the network. The MAC
Address limit can be set to any value from 1 to 100. MAC Address Limiting can also be
disabled. By default, the NetVanta limits the customer to 100 learned MAC Addresses.
If enabled, MAC Address aging can be used. By default, the MAC Aging timeout is 5
minutes. The MAC Aging Timeout can be set to any value from 1 to 3600 seconds. If set to
zero, MAC Aging is disabled, and learned MAC addresses are locked.
To set the MAC Address Limit count and aging values, complete the following steps:
1. From the Enable prompt, type configure terminal , and press E
2. From the Global Configuration prompt, access the Ethernet Configuration prompt or the
3. Type mac limit <# of MAC addresses> , and press E
NOTE
To disable MAC limiting, type no mac limit , and press E
4. Type mac aging-time <timeout_value> , and press E
5. Type end , and press E
