The learning function enables ports to learn the <source MAC
address, VLAN> pair of received frames. This information is then
used to make later decisions for frame forwarding. The learning
function should be initially enabled for a long enough period to
ensure that all valid VLAN members have been registered on the
switch. It may then be disabled as a security feature to ensure that
frames from any station with an unknown MAC address are
filtered. To add new VLAN members at a later time, the learning
function must be re-enabled until all the new VLAN members have
been registered. Learning may then be disabled again, if desired,
for security.
