Configuring the Extended MAC Entry Resource Mode
Context
You can increase the MAC address table size by changing the MAC entry resource mode.
When the switch transmits heavy traffic, MAC address entries increase accordingly. If the current MAC address table size cannot meet service requirements, service running efficiency is reduced. The switch provides an extended register that you can use to increase the size of the MAC address table, thereby enabling the switch to learn more MAC addresses.
Only the S5720-EI, S6720-EI and S6720S-EI support this function.

- (Optional) Run display resource-mode configuration

- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run assign resource-mode enhanced-mac slot slot-id
