Limitations

The following limitations apply to this release of the VM tracking feature:
VM tracking authentication cannot be used simultaneously with Network Login authentication on
●
the same port.
When VM tracking is configured on a port, all existing learned MAC addresses are flushed. MAC
●
addresses will be relearned by the switch and the appropriate VPP (if any) for each VM will be
applied.
If a VM changes MAC addresses while moving between ports on a switch, the VM remains
●
authenticated on the original port until the original MAC address ages out of the FDB.
