Cisco NCS 4200 Series - Example of Enabling Per-Bridge-Domain MAC Limiting

The threshold value must be 80% of the maximum value configured for the recovery mechanism.Note
• Shutdown—If the number of addresses exceeds the maximum (MAX) value, the router sends a syslog
message and moves the bridge-domain (bdomain) to a disabled state. To restore the bridge-domain,
disable and re-enable the mac-limiting feature.
Warning is the default action when no action is configured.Note
The functionality of automatic error recovery is not supported on the Cisco ASR 900 RSP2 module.
