Description When this command is enabled, packets received on a SAP or with an unknown source MAC address
will be dropped only if the maximum number of MAC addresses for that SAP (see max-nbr-mac-addr
on page 393) has been reached. If max-nbr-mac-addr has not been set for the SAP, 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
