Removing Addresses from the MAC Address Database

You can remove the MAC addresses from the MAC address database that have been learned dynamically. By removing these MAC addresses, MAC address convergence requires less time. To remove MAC addresses from the database, an address withdraw message can be sent with a list of all of the MAC list TLVs to be removed.

To enable MAC TLV receive processing, include the mac-tlv-receive statement:




mac-tlv-receive;

For a list of the hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see the summary section for this statement. You can clear the MAC addresses globally by including the mac-tlv-receive statement at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls] hierarchy level. To clear MAC address on the routers in a specific mesh group, include the mac-tlv-receive statements at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls mesh-group mesh-group-name] hierarchy level.

To enable MAC TLV send processing, include the mac-tlv-send statement:




mac-tlv-send;

For a list of the hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see the summary section for this statement. You can clear the MAC addresses globally by including the mac-tlv-send statement at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls] hierarchy level. To clear MAC address on the routers in a specific mesh group, include the mac-tlv-send statements at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vpls mesh-group mesh-group-name] hierarchy level.
