Managing Switch Network Addresses and Routes
unicast mac‐address fid
receive‐port [ageable]
unicast‐as‐
multicast {enable |
disable}
Defaults
If port‐string is not defined with the set mac multicast command, then it will apply to all ports.
If the set mac unicast command is used without the ageable parameter, the entry will be
permanent.
Mode
Switch command, Read‐Write.
Usage
A warning displays if a unicast MAC address is entered as part of a multicast command:
matrix(rw)‐>set mac multicast 00‐02‐ca‐bb‐cc‐dd 2 fe.1.5
Warning: Unicast address converted to multicast 01‐02‐CA‐BB‐CC‐DD
Example
This example shows how to set the MAC timeout period to 600 seconds:
Matrix(rw)->set mac agetime 600
This example shows how to enable the MAC for unicast‐as‐multicast:
Matrix(rw)->set mac unicast-as-multicast enable
clear mac
Use this command to reset the timeout period for aging learned MAC entries to the default value
of 300 seconds, or to clear MAC addresses out of the filtering database(s).
Syntax
clear mac {[all] | [address address] [fid fid] | [vlan-id vlan-id] | [port-string
port-string] [type {learned | mgmt}]} | [agetime] [unicast-as-multicast]
Parameters

12-12 Network Address and Route Management Configuration
This command allows you to statically enter a unicast MAC address
mac-address
(
) into a filtering database (
port
). This entry will be either permanent or ageable where it will age
out same as a dynamically learned MAC address.
(Optional) enable ‐ Enables treating static unicast MAC address as a
multicast address by extending the search phase of layer 2 lookup to
match the unlearned destination MAC address against the static
Multicast MAC entries.
disable - Treats static unicast MAC addresses as unicast addresses.
Clear all MAC address entries. This will even clear permanent entries.
MAC address to clear (ex. 00‐01‐F4‐56‐78‐90); if not specified, clear
command shall be scoped to all MAC address.
Filtering database id to clear; if not specified, clear command shall be
scoped to all filtering database ids.
