Enabling Mac Address Synchronization - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Step
3. Assign MAC learning priority.

Enabling MAC address synchronization

To avoid unnecessary floods and improve forwarding speed, make sure all member devices possess the
same MAC address table. After you enable MAC address table synchronization, each member device
advertises learned MAC address entries to other member devices.
As shown in
• Device A and Device B form an IRF fabric enabled with MAC address synchronization.
Device A and Device B connect to AP C and AP D, respectively.
•
When Client A associates with AP C, Device A learns a MAC address entry for Client A and
•
advertises it to Device B.

If Client A roams to AP D, Device B learns a MAC address entry for Client A. Device B advertises it to
Device A to ensure service continuity for Client A, as shown in
