Understanding Layer 2 Learning and Forwarding for Bridge Domains Functioning as Switches with Layer 2 Trunk Ports
Layer 2 learning is enabled by default. A set of bridge domains, configured to function as a switch with a Layer 2 trunk port, learns unicast media access control (MAC) addresses to avoid flooding packets to the trunk port.
Traffic is not flooded back onto the interface on which
it was received. However, because this “split horizon”
occurs at a late stage, the packet statistics displayed by commands
such as show interfaces queue
will include flood traffic.
You can optionally disable Layer 2 learning for the entire set of bridge domains as well as modify the following Layer 2 learning and forwarding properties:
Limit the number of MAC addresses learned from the Layer 2 trunk port associated with the set of bridge domains
Modify the size of the MAC address table for the set of bridge domains
Enable MAC accounting for the set of bridge domains
