Description

The percentage of the number of MAC address entries generated on the board reaches the configured alarm threshold.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Parameter Meaning
hwEntPhysicalIndex	Physical index of the MAC address usage alarm.
hwTrapSeverity	Alarm severity.
hwCause	Alarm cause.
hwTrapEvent	Alarm event type.
hwPhyscialName	Name of a physical interface.
hwMacUsage	MAC address usage.
hwThreshold	Threshold for triggering a MAC address usage alarm.

Possible Causes

The MAC address usage reached the upper limit.

Procedure

1.This trap message is informational only. To clear the alarm, go to Step 2.

2.Run the display mac-address-usage slot slotid command to check whether the actual MAC address usage is greater than or equal to that configured on the board.

If the actual MAC address usage is greater than or equal to that configured on the board, go to Step 3.
If the actual MAC address usage is smaller than that configured on the board, go to Step 4.

3.Run either of the following commands:

Run the undo mac-address command in the system view to delete unneeded static MAC address entries.
Run the mac-limit command to reconfigure the upper limit of MAC addresses learned by an interface or VLAN.

Check whether the alarm is cleared.

If the alarm is cleared, go to Step 5.
If the alarm persists, go to Step 4.

4.Collect trap, log, and configuration information, and contact technical support personnel.

5.End.
