disable switchlocally-administered-address

Description

Disables the switch from generating locally administered per-port MAC addresses.

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or variables.

Default

This feature is disabled by default.

Usage Guidelines

ExtremeXOS switches do not use a unique per-port MAC address when transmitting bridge protocol data units (BPDUs). As a result, switch management can become inaccessible when switch MAC addresses are learned on the wrong L2 path (corresponding to a blocking port). This command allows you to disable the switch from generating locally administered MAC addresses.

Example

The following example disables the switch from generating locally administered MAC addresses:

disable switch locally-administered-address

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 22.3.
