5.16.4.5 eth-cfm
Table 212 eth-cfm command
Description This command creates a local static MAC entry in the v-VPLS forwarding database (FDB) 
associated with the SAP.
In a v-VPLS service, MAC addresses are associated with an SAP or with a Service Distribution 
Point (SDP). MACs associated with an SAP are classified as local MACs, and MACs 
associated with an SDP are remote MACs.
Local static MAC entries create a permanent MAC address to SAP association in the 
forwarding database for the v-VPLS instance so that MAC address will not be learned on the 
edge device.
Note that static MAC definitions on one edge device are not propagated to other edge devices 
participating in the VPLS instance, that is, each edge device has an independent forwarding 
database for the v-VPLS.
Only one static MAC entry (local or remote) can be defined per MAC address per v-VPLS 
instance.
By default, no static MAC address entries are defined for the SAP.
The no form of this command deletes the static MAC entry with the specified MAC address 
associated with the SAP from the v-VPLS forwarding database.
Parameters ieee-mac-address — Specifies the 48-bit MAC address for the static ARP in the form 
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff or aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff where aa, bb, cc, dd, ee and ff are hexadecimal 
numbers.
Allowed values are any non-broadcast, non-multicast MAC and non-IEEE reserved MAC 
addresses.
