Managing the MAC Address Table

This example shows how to specify 172.69.59.93 as the network management system, enable the switch

to send MAC change notification traps to the network management system, enable the MAC change

notification feature, set the interval time to 60 seconds, set the history-size to 100 entries, and enable

traps whenever a MAC address is added on the specified port:

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# snmp-server host 172.69.59.93 private mac-notification
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps mac-notification change
Switch(config)# mac address-table notification change
Switch(config)# mac address-table notification change interval 60
Switch(config)# mac address-table notification change history-size 100
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# snmp trap mac-notification change added
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch# show mac address-table notification change interface

Configuring MAC Move Notification Traps

When you configure MAC move notification, an SNMP notification is generated and sent to the network

management system whenever a MAC address moves from one port to another within the same VLAN.
