With the keyword no-station-move option, MAC addresses learned through this feature 
on the selected interface will persist 
on a per-VLAN basis, even if received on 
another interface. Enabling or disabling this option has no effect on already learned 
MAC addresses.
Once the MAC address learning limit is reached, the MAC addresses do not age out 
unless you add the 
dynamic option. To clear statistics on MAC address learning, use 
the clear counters command with the learning-limit parameter.
When a channel member is added to a port-channel and there is not enough ACL 
CAM space, then the MAC limit functionality on that port-channel is undefined. 
When this occurs, un-configure the existing configuration first and then reapply the 
limit with a lower value.

History
Note: If you configure this command on an interface in a routed VLAN, and once the 
MAC addresses learned reaches the limit set in the mac learning-limit command, IP 
protocols are affected. For example, VRRP sets multiple VRRP Masters, and OSPF 
may not come up.
clear counters Clear counters used in the 
show interface command
clear mac-address-table Clear the MAC address table of all MAC address learned 
dynamically.
show mac learning-limit Display MAC learning-limit configuration.
log
Enter the keyword log to generate a syslog message on a 
learning-limit violation.
shutdown 
Enter the keyword shutdown to shut down the port on a 
learning-limit violation.
