Logging and Network Management Command Set
Managing Switch Network Addresses
11-48
Syntax Description
Command Defaults
None.
Command Type
Switch command.
Command Mode
Read-Write.
mac-random
Sets the mode to MAC random algorithm, which is best 
used by networks having a single MAC per VLAN that do 
not need the VLAN ID to be used in Layer 2 lookups. 
When running in this mode, the filter database lookup 
algorithm is optimized for networks with MAC addresses 
that vary by vendor.
mac-sequential
Sets the mode to MAC sequential algorithm, which is best 
used by networks having a single MAC per VLAN that do 
not need the VLAN ID to be used in Layer 2 lookups. 
When running in this mode the, filter database lookup 
algorithm is optimized for networks with MAC addresses 
that very by the non-vendor bytes of the address.
mac-vid-random
Sets the mode to mac-vid-random algorithm, which is best 
used by networks where a single MAC can be on more than 
one VLAN and it is necessary for the VLAN ID to be used 
in the Layer 2 lookup. When running in this mode, the filter 
database lookup algorithm is optimized for networks with 
MAC addresses that vary by vendor.
mac-vid-
sequential
Sets the mode to mac-vid-sequential algorithm, which is 
best used by networks where a single MAC can be on more 
than one VLAN and it is necessary for the VLAN ID to be 
used in the Layer 2 lookup. When running in this mode the, 
filter database lookup algorithm is optimized for networks 
with MAC addresses that very by the non-vendor bytes of 
the address. This is the device’s default setting.
