Configuring a Static MAC Address
This section describes how to configure a static MAC address on the router. For an overview of static MAC
addresses, see Static MAC Addresses, on page 19.
Limitations
The following limitations apply when configuring static MAC addresses:
•
Static MAC addresses are supported only on egress ports.
•
You can configure up to 1024 multicast static MAC addresses
•
You can assign up to 24 EFPs to a bridge domain configured with a multicast static MAC address.
•
MAC entries configured across different bridge-domains are represented as separate entries in the router
MAC table.
•
Multicast static MAC addresses apply only to layer 2 traffic; layer 3 multicast traffic is not affected by
a static MAC configuration and is forwarded to all EFPs in a bridge domain.
