mac-address-table

 

Use this command to set the aging time or to add static addresses to the MAC address table.

Synopsis

mac-address-table {aging-time secondsstatic mac-addrforward [port-channel number

 

tengigabitethernet slot/port vlan vlan_id] }

 

no mac-address-table {aging-time static mac-addrforward [ port-channel number

 

tengigabitethernet slot/port vlan vlan_id] }

Operands

aging-time seconds

Specifies the time in seconds that a learned MAC address will persist after

 

 

 

 

the last update. If the aging time is set to zero (0), it means that aging is

 

 

disabled. The range of valid values is 10-100000.

 

static mac-addr

Specifies the Media Access Control (MAC) address (unicast or multicast) to

 

 

add to the address table. Packets with this destination address received in

 

 

the specified VLAN are forwarded to the specified interface.

 

forward

Forwards the MAC address to the interface.

port-channel number

Specifies the port-channel number. The range of valid values is 1–63.

tengigabitethernet

Specifies a valid 10 Gbps Ethernet interface.

slot

Specifies a valid slot number.

port

Specifies a valid port number.

vlan vlan_id

Specifies the VLAN number. The range of valid values is 1-3583.

Defaults The default aging time is 300 seconds.

Command Global configuration mode

Modes

Description Use this command to set the aging time or to add static addresses to the MAC address table.

Usage The vlan keyword is mandatory because the switch only supports independent VLAN learning (IVL).

Guidelines

Examples To add the static address 0011.2222.3333 to the MAC address table with a packet received on VLAN 100:

switch(config)#mac-address-table static 0011.2222.3333 forward

tengigabitethernet 0/1 vlan 100
