MAC Monitor Probe

The MAC Monitor probe observes MAC address activity on switches and checks VTEP MAC Tables to ensure accurate EVPN type 2 MAC advertisement integration into the Forwarding Database (FDb). It identifies, validates, and flags missing MAC addresses across all VTEPs. This data is summarized by calculating MAC address discrepancies.
