Configuring Mac Address Learning - HP 12500 Series Configuration Manual

Figure 35 Network diagram
To configure the switch to support VPLS and MAC-in-MAC dual-stack, you need to create a VSI that
supports VPLS and MAC-in-MAC dual-stack. To create such a VSI, specify the peer discovery mechanism,
enable the MAC-in-MAC function, and specify the Backbone Service Instance Identifier (I-SID) for
MAC-in-MAC when creating the VSI.
To configure the switch to support VPLS and MAC-in-MAC dual-stack:
To do...
Enter system view
Create a VSI that supports both
VPLS and MAC-in-MAC, and enter
VSI view
NOTE:
A VSI enabled with the hub-spoke capability (the hub-spoke keyword included in the vsi static command)
does not support cooperation with the MAC-in-MAC feature.

Configuring MAC address learning

To configure the MAC address learning function:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter VSI view
Enable/disable MAC address
learning for the VPLS instance
Specify a MAC address learning
mode for the VPLS instance
Set the maximum number of MAC
addresses that the switch can learn
for the VPLS instance
Use the command...
system-view
vsi vsi-name { { auto | static } minm
i-sid i-sid | minm i-sid i-sid { auto |
static } }
Use the command...
system-view
vsi vsi-name
mac-learning { enable | disable }
