Layer 2<br />

The Aggregator supports CLI commands to manage the MAC address table:<br />

• Clearing MAC Address Entries<br />

• Displaying the MAC Address Table<br />

The Aggregator auto-configures with support for Network Interface Controller (NIC) Teaming.<br />

Managing the MAC Address Table<br />

On an Aggregator in stacking mode, you can manage the MAC address table by:<br />

• Clearing MAC Address Entries<br />

• Displaying the MAC Address Table<br />

Note: On an Aggregator, all ports are configured by default as members of all (4094) VLANs, including<br />

the default VLAN. All VLANs operate in Layer 2 mode. You can reconfigure the VLAN membership for<br />

individual ports by using the vlan tagged or vlan untagged commands in INTERFACE configuration mode.<br />

See VLAN Membership for more information.<br />

Note: The tasks for managing the MAC address table that are described in this section can be performed<br />

only if the Aggregator is configured to operate in stacking mode. See Configuring a Switch Stack.<br />

Clearing MAC Address Entries<br />

Learned MAC addresses are entered in the table as dynamic entries, which means that they are subject to<br />

aging. For any dynamic entry, if no packet arrives on the switch with the MAC address as the source or<br />

destination address within the timer period, the address is removed from the table. The default aging time<br />

is 1800 seconds.<br />

You can manually clear the MAC address table of dynamic entries by using the clear mac-address-table<br />

dynamic command.<br />

Note: On an Aggregator, you cannot manually configure static MAC addresses. A static entry is not<br />

subject to aging.<br />
