discard-unknown-source
Syntax [no] discard-unknown-source
Context config>service>vpls>sap
Description When this command is enabled, packets received on a SAP or a spoke SDP with an unknown source
MAC address will be dropped only if the maximum number of MAC addresses for that SAP or spoke
SDP (see max-nbr-mac-addr on page 415) has been reached. If max-nbr-mac-addr has not been set for
the SAP or spoke SDP, enabling discard-unknown-source has no effect.
When disabled, the packets are forwarded based on the destination MAC addresses.
The no form of this command causes packets with an unknown source MAC addresses to be
forwarded by destination MAC addresses in VPLS.
Default no discard-unknown-source
