Note

This command has been replaced with the following command: configure l2vpn [vpls vpls_name | vpwsvpws_name] peeripaddress [limit-learningnumber | unlimited-learning] .

This command is still supported for backward compatibility, but it will be removed from a future release, so we recommend that you start using the new command.

Description

Configures the maximum number of MAC SAs (Source Addresses) that can be learned for a given VPLS and peer.

Syntax Description

vpls_name Identifies the VPLS within the switch (character string).
ipaddress Specifies the IP address for the peer node that is the endpoint of the PW-LSP.
limit-learning Specifies a limit to the number of MAC SAs to be learned for the specified VPLS and peer.
number The maximum number of MAC SAs that can be learned for the specified VPLS and peer.
unlimited-learning Specifies no limit to the number of MAC SAs to be learned for the specified VPLS and peer.

Default

Unlimited.

Usage Guidelines

This command configures the maximum number of MAC SAs (Source Addresses) that can be learned for a given VPLS and peer. This parameter can only be modified when the specified VPLS is disabled. The unlimited-learning keyword can be used to specify that there is no limit. The default value is unlimited-learning.

Example

The following example causes no more than 20 MAC addresses to be learned on VPLS1‘s PW to 1.1.1.202:

configure vpls vpls1 peer 1.1.1.202 limit-learning 20
