MPLS/VPN Support
These two modes can function simultaneously; therefore selected PE routers can be configured statically,
while the rest are resolved dynamically
For more information regarding the MAC resolver, refer to the Cisco Service Control Engine Software
Configuration Guide.

Static mode
In this mode, the MAC address of each PE router must be explicitly defined by the user.
Benefit: no initial delay until IP addresses converge
Drawback: PE interface is not automatically updated via ARP updates; therefore it doesn't
automatically support cases where the MAC address changes on the fly.
However, for statically configured MAC addresses, a user log message appears when the system
detects that the MAC address changed. This can be used by the operator to configure the new
address.
ip address — The IP address entry to be added to or removed from the database.
vlan tag — VLAN tag that identifies the VLAN that carries this IP address (if applicable).
mac address — MAC address assigned to the IP address, in xxxx.xxxx.xxxx format.
