Procedure
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Enter Layer 2 or Layer 3 Ethernet interface view.

By default, neighbor aging is disabled on an interface.

Configuring MAC address learning for DCN

About MAC address learning for DCN

For the data communication network (DCN) to implement operation, administration, and
maintenance on network elements (NEs), you must configure the NEs to learn their neighbors' MAC
addresses through LLDP.
An NE learns the MAC address of its neighbor through the ARP or ND entry generated based on the
management address TLV in LLDP frames received from the neighbor. For more information about
DCN, see Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

About setting the source MAC address of LLDP frames
This feature allows you to set the source MAC address of LLDP frames to the MAC address of a
VLAN interface or a Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface.
Restrictions and guidelines
In Layer 2 Ethernet interface view, you must configure this feature so the interface can use the MAC
address of a VLAN interface instead of its own MAC address as the source MAC address of LLDP
frames. This ensures that the neighbor NE can generate correct ARP or ND entries for the local NE.
