Extreme Networks Summit1 Configuring FDB Entries, Associating a QOS Profile with AN FDB Entry

CONFIGURING FDB ENTRIES

ASSOCIATING A QOS PROFILE WITH AN FDB ENTRY

You can associate a QoS profile with a MAC address (and VLAN) of a device that will be dynamically learned. The FDB treats the entry like a dynamic entry (it is learned, it can be aged out of the database, and so on). The switch applies the QoS profile as soon as the FDB entry is learned.

CONFIGURING FDB ENTRIES

To configure entries in the FDB, use the commands listed in Table 6-1.

Table 6-1:FDB Configuration Commands

Command Description

create fdbentry <mac_address> vlan <name> [blackhole <portlist> dynamic] {qosprofile <qosname>}

config fdb agingtime <number>

Creates an FDB entry. Specify the following:

■mac_address — Device MAC address, using colon separated bytes.

■name — VLAN associated with MAC address.

■blackhole — Configures the MAC address as a blackhole entry.

■portlist — Port numbers associated with MAC address.

■dynamic — Specifies that the entry will be learned dynamically. Used to associated a QoS profile with a dynamically learned entry.

■qosname — QoS profile associated with MAC address.

If more than one port number is associated with a permanent MAC entry, packets are multicast to the multiple destinations.

Configures the FDB aging time. The range is 15 through 1,000,000 seconds. The default value is 300 seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the entry should never be aged out.

enable learning port <portlist>	Enables MAC address learning on one or more
	ports.
