Configuring the Size of the VPLS MAC Address Table

You can modify the size of the VPLS media access control (MAC) address table. The default table size is 512 MAC addresses, the minimum is 16 addresses, and the maximum is 65,536 addresses.

If the MAC table limit is reached, new MAC addresses can no longer be added to the table. Eventually the oldest MAC addresses are removed from the MAC address table automatically. This frees space in the table, allowing new entries to be added. However, as long as the table is full, new MAC addresses are dropped.

To change the VPLS MAC table size for each VPLS or VPN routing instance, include the mac-table-size statement:




mac-table-size size;

You can include the mac-table-size statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls]

The interfaces affected by the mac-table-size statement include all of the interfaces within the VPLS routing instance, including the local interfaces, the LSI interfaces, and the VT interfaces.
