Using the show mac-address-table command, it has been discovered that a port has failed to
learn the MAC of a device connected to it. Possible reasons:
) The connected cable is broken. Replace the cable.
) Spanning Tree has started and the port is in “discarding” status; or the device was recently
connected to the port and Spanning Tree is still under calculation. Wait until the Spanning Tree
calculation finishes. The port will then learn the MAC address.
) If not the above-mentioned problem, please check for port healthy and contact technical
