R3303-HP HSR6800 Routers Layer 2 - LAN Switching Configuration Guide

Configuring MAC Information

The MAC Information feature is available on only SAP modules that are operating in bridge mode.

The MAC Information feature can generate syslog messages or SNMP traps when MAC address entries

are learned or deleted. You can use these messages to monitor users leaving or joining the network for

suspicious users.

The MAC Information feature buffers the MAC change syslog messages or SNMP traps in a queue and

sends them to the information center regularly. If the queue gets full before the sending interval expires,

the oldest queue entry is deleted for the new syslog message or SNMP trap. To send a syslog message

or SNMP trap immediately after it is created, set the queue length to zero.
