1, The EMAC address for the IMAC address is learned only after the IMAC address are learned, so that IMAC address learning limit immediately takes effect. The first packet triggers IMAC address learning, and the second packet triggers EMAC address learning. That is, at least two packets are required to trigger EMAC address learning. If the packet traffic is small and MAC address learning limit is configured on an interface, the number of MAC addresses displayed in the "display mac-address" command output may be different from the limit. They are the same after an aging period elapses.

2, Alarm pairing: When MAC address learning limit is deleted or a board is reset, the existing alarm for MAC address learning limit does not support alarm pairing. That is, the alarm cannot be cleared.

3, In V800R009C10 and later versions, the command for MAC address learning limit does not clear MAC address entries. Therefore, MAC address learning limit may not take effect immediately after being configured. You must run the "reset mac-address" command to trigger MAC address learning limit to take effect. MAC address learning limit takes effect immediately because upstream MAC addresses are learned quickly. The excess MAC addresses are aged after an aging period.

After the MAC Accounting function is enabled, packet statistics are collected after a period.

When a QinQ stacking sub-interface is bound to a VSI and the CE-VLAN ID in a user packet changes:

If the MAC address has not been re-learned, the displayed CE-VLAN ID in the MAC address entry is still the old one.

If the MAC address has been re-learned, the displayed CE-VLAN ID in the MAC address entry is the new one.

When the same MAC address corresponds to different CE-VLAN IDs, only the CE-VLAN ID in the packet that triggers the MAC address learning is displayed.

When primary and secondary PWs exist during dynamic VSI MAC address query on the Schema NMS, filtering and query based on the key node pwRole are not supported. All nodes are displayed in the filter query result. After full query, nodes can be filtered and queried based on pwRole.

When the configured MAC-limit exceeds the upper limit, configurations such as command lines can be delivered normally, but the maximum number of MAC address entries allowed by a board takes effect.

The sticky MAC function can be enabled or disabled only for BD EVPN, not for BD or VPLS.

NetEngine 8000 F

NetEngine 8000 F2A/NetEngine 8000 F1A

When the sticky MAC function is enabled or the source MAC address check function is enabled, EVPN and VPLS cannot coexist or interwork.

NetEngine 8000 F

NetEngine 8000 F2A/NetEngine 8000 F1A

The reverse address check function depends on MAC address learning. After the mac-learning disable command is configured, the reverse address check function is not supported.

NetEngine 8000 F

NetEngine 8000 F2A/NetEngine 8000 F1A

The sticky MAC address whitelist does not support evpn mac qualify.

NetEngine 8000 F

NetEngine 8000 F2A/NetEngine 8000 F1A

The sticky MAC function is mutually exclusive with the UMR function.
