Example of Limit Learning

In Switch Configured for Limit Learning, three devices are connected through a hub to a single port on the Extreme Networks device.

If a learning limit of three is set for that port, and you connect a fourth device to the same port, the switch does not learn the MAC address of the new device; rather, the switch blackholes the address.
