Removing Dynamic Address Entries
To remove all dynamic entries, use the clear mac address-table dynamic comman d in privileged EXEC
mode. You can also remove a specific MAC address (clear mac address-table dynamic address
mac-address), remove all addresses on the specified physical port or port channel ( clear mac
address-table dynamic interface interface-id), or remove all addresses on a specified VLAN (clear
mac address-table dynamic vlan vlan-id).
To verify that dynamic entries hav e be en remo v ed, use th e show mac addr ess-table dynamic pri vileged
EXEC command.
Configuring MAC Address Notification Traps
MAC address notification enables you to track users on a network by storing the MAC address activity
on the switch. Whenever the switch learns or removes a MAC address, an SNMP notification can be
generated and sent to the NMS. If you have many users coming and going from the network, you can set
a trap interval time to bundle the notification traps and reduce network traffic. The MAC notification
history table stores the MAC address activ ity fo r ea ch har dwa re p ort f or which th e tra p is en able d. MAC
address notifications are generated for dynamic and secure MAC addresses; events are not generated for
self addresses, multicast addresses, or other static addresses.
