A10E/A28E/A28F Configuration Guide
address table. If packets from other interface are sent to the MAC address, the
A10E/A28E can send them to the related interface.
If failed, it broadcasts packets to all interfaces except the source interface, and records
the source MAC address in the MAC address table.
MAC address limit
MAC address learning amount limit function is mainly to restrict the number of MAC
addresses, avoid extending the checking time of forwarding table entry caused by too large
MAC address table and degrading the forwarding performance of Ethernet switch, and it is an
effective way to manage MAC address table.
MAC address learning amount limit is mainly used to restrict the size of MAC address table
and improve the speed of forwarding packets.
2.1.2 Preparing for configurations
Scenario
Configure static MAC address table in the following situations:
Static MAC address can be set for fixed server, special persons (manager, financial staff,
etc.) fixed and important hosts to make sure all data flow forwarding to these MAC
addresses are forwarded from static MAC address related interface in priority.
For the interface with fixed static MAC address, you can disable MAC address learning
to avoid other hosts visiting LAN data from the interface.
Configure aging time for dynamic MAC address table to avoid saving too many MAC address
table entries in MAC address table and running out of MAC address table resources so as to
achieve dynamic MAC address aging function.
