mac-address: Specifies a MAC address in the format of H-H-H, where 0s at the beginning of each H
(16-bit hexadecimal digit) can be omitted. For example, entering "f-e2-1" indicates that the MAC address
is "000f-00e2-0001."
vlan vlan-id: Specifies an existing VLAN to which the Ethernet interface belongs, where vlan-id is the
specified VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4094.
dynamic: Specifies dynamic MAC address entries, which can be aged.
static: Specifies static MAC address entries. These entries do not age, but you can add or remove them.
interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an outbound interface by its type and number.
Usage guidelines
A static or blackhole MAC address entry will not be overwritten by a dynamic MAC address entry. A
dynamic MAC address entry can be overwritten by a static or blackhole MAC address entry.
If you execute the undo mac-address command without specifying any parameters, this command
deletes all unicast MAC address entries.
You can delete all the MAC address entries of a VLAN, or you can choose to delete a specific type
(dynamic, static, or blackhole) of MAC address entries only. You can single out certain ports and delete
the corresponding unicast MAC address entries.
The MAC address entries configuration cannot survive a reboot unless you save it. However, the dynamic
MAC address entries are lost at next reboot regardless of whether you save the configuration or not.
Examples
# Add a static entry for MAC address 000f-e201-0101. All frames destined to this MAC address are sent
out of port GigabitEthernet 0/1, which belongs to VLAN 2.
