Uniform MAC address learning mode
A. Operation Mechanism
In this mode, multiple line cards in the switch learn the MAC addresses, with
each line card learning the MAC address independently. The MAC address
learn process is described as follows:
The UserA under the Line Card1 sends the packets to the UserB. For the MAC
address for the UserB does not exist on the switch, the packets will be sent to
all line cards on the switch in broadcast form.
Figure-6 Uniform MAC Address Forward Process 1
The UserA under the Line Card1 sends the packets to the UserB. For the MAC
address for the UserB does not exist on the switch, the packets will be sent to
all line cards on the switch in broadcast form. The switch learns the address
after receiving the packets from the UserA. At this time, Line Card 1 and Line
Card 2 both receive the packets from the UserA, so they learn the MAC address
for the UserA simultaneously.
