Mac address learning process switch mac#
I have disabled this all mac-limits on the parent switch. Switches learn MAC addresses, and the port to associate with them, by reading the source MAC address of received frames. Filtering on a MAC source address allows an operator to drop frames from a disruptive user based on. So my idea was, that this could be some mac-address learning limit. A persistent MAC will bypass the normal aging process. Unfortunatly it is random which one I can reach.
As soon as I use the Huawei switch I can only rean one of the the four ip addresses.
I can only when connectin the setup to a unmanged switch everything is working fine. If the destination MAC address isn't in its MAC address table (unknown unicast), it floods the frame to all ports, except the port on which the frame was received. All servers (hosts and 3 VMs) are in the same network. When a switch receives a frame, it updates its MAC address table with the source MAC address and the port on which it received the frame. For example we have one port which is a uplink to a VMware eSXI Server. Now I have some issues with client ports. I am in the process of deploying a SVF setup on a customer side.Īfter we had the whole setup running in a lab location we are now moving it into the final location. The MAC address FDB is established by MAC address learning, which includes learning packets from UNI/Attachment Circuit and packets from PWs.
