4.2.9 Configuring the Forwarding Database
4.2.9.1 Default Configuration
By default, the Switch Learning and Ageingtimer are set to ENABLED, so the FDB is dynamically learned and
updated, and AGEINGTIMER determines when a dynamic entry is removed.
4.2.9.2 Restrictions and Limitations
When a learn limit is set on an interface and that limit is exceeded there is no log or trap sent. (This is different
than the feature for the iMAPs where an "FDB management overflow" log, a CARD046, and associated SNMP
trap would be generated.)
The SBx3112 supports a maximum 16K MAC address table size. If this learn limit is exceeded, those MAC
addresses (in excess of the 16K limit) are flooded.
