When a switch learns or unlearns a MAC address, SNMP notifications can be sent to the
network management system at regular intervals to record the addition or removal of
the MAC address. This process is known as MAC notification.
The MAC notification interval defines how often Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) notifications logging the addition or removal of MAC addresses on the switch
are sent to the network management system.
MAC notification is disabled by default. When MAC notification is enabled, the default
MAC notification interval is 30 seconds.
To enable or disable MAC notification, or to set the MAC notification interval, perform
these tasks:
Enabling MAC Notification on page 1616
Disabling MAC Notification on page 1616
Setting the MAC Notification Interval on page 1617
MAC notification is disabled by default. You need to perform this procedure to enable
MAC notification.
To enable MAC notification on the switch with the default MAC notification interval of
30 seconds:
[edit ethernet-switching-options]
user@switch# set mac-notification
To enable MAC notification on the switch with any other MAC notification interval (here,
the MAC notification interval is set to 60 seconds):
[edit ethernet-switching-options]
user@switch# set mac-notification notification-interval 60
MAC Notification is disabled by default. Perform this procedure only if MAC notification
was previously enabled on your switch.
To disable MAC notification on the switch:
[edit ethernet-switching-options]
user@switch# delete mac-notification
