Users Guide

With the keyword no-station-move option, MAC addresses learned through this feature on the
selected interface 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.
After 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.
NOTE: If you configure this command on an interface in a routed VLAN, and after 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.
When a channel member is added to a port-channel and there is not enough ACL CAM space, 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.
