The mac-address queue-emptying disable command disables a device from emptying a MAC address queue. A device cannot learn MAC addresses when emptying a MAC address queue. After a device is disabled from emptying a MAC address queue, the device can learn MAC addresses and at the same time delete MAC address entries.
The undo mac-address queue-emptying disable command restores the default configuration.
By default, a device is enabled to empty a MAC address queue.
Usage Scenario
When MAC address entries are deleted automatically through associating with other modules or deleted manually, a device empties the MAC address queue by default. During the emptying process, the device cannot learn new MAC addresses. To allow the device to learn new MAC addresses and at the same time delete unneeded MAC addresses, run the mac-address queue-emptying disable command.
After a device is disabled from emptying a MAC address queue, the MAC addresses in the queue may fail to be deleted. To allow a device to delete the dynamic MAC address entries, run the reset mac-address command on the device.
