You may need to disable MAC address learning sometimes to prevent the MAC address table
from being saturated, for example, when your device is being attacked by a great deal of packets
with different source MAC addresses. This somewhat affects update of the MAC address table.
As disabling MAC address learning may result in broadcast storms, you need to enable broadcast
storm suppression after you disable MAC address learning on a port.
Related commands: display mac-address mac-learning.
When MAC address learning is disabled, the learned MAC addresses remain valid until they age out.
