Enabling VPLS MAC address withdrawal

VPLS MAC address withdrawal removes dynamically-learned MAC addresses.

1. From privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.
   

   device# configure terminal
   

2. Enter bridge domain configuration mode. The following example shows how to enter configuration mode for bridge domain 1.
   

   device(config)# bridge domain 1
   

3. Enable VPLS MAC address withdrawal.
   

   device(config-bridge-domain-1)# mac-address withdrawal
   

   After it is enabled, use the no form of the command to disable MAC address withdrawal.
4. Return to privileged EXEC mode.
   

   device(config-bridge-domain-1)# end
   

5. Verify the configuration.
   

   device# show bridge-domain 
   Bridge-domain 1
   -------------------------------
   Bridge-domain Type: MP , VC-ID: 0
   Number of configured end-points:  0 , Number of Active end-points: 0
   VE if-indx: 0, Local switching: TRUE, bpdu-drop-enable: TRUE
   MAC Withdrawal: Enabled
   PW-profile: default, mac-limit: 0
   Total VPLS peers: 0 (0 Operational):

Example

The following example shows how to enable VPLS MAC address withdrawal and then verify the configuration for bridge domain 1.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# bridge domain 1
device(config-bridge-domain-1)# mac-address withdrawal
device(config-bridge-domain-1)# end
!
device# show bridge-domain 
Bridge-domain 1
-------------------------------
Bridge-domain Type: MP , VC-ID: 0
Number of configured end-points:  0 , Number of Active end-points: 0
VE if-indx: 0, Local switching: TRUE, bpdu-drop-enable: TRUE
MAC Withdrawal: Enabled
PW-profile: default, mac-limit: 0
Total VPLS peers: 0 (0 Operational):
