Checking Resource Usage of MAC Address Table
This system outputs operation log messages when the MAC address table usage reaches 80% and 100% of the
accommodating condition. The operation log message output is shown in the table below.

Table 4-1: Operation Log Message for Checking Resource Usage
Communication is not immediately affected when usage reaches 80%. However, if usage of MAC address table
continuously increases, the limit accommodating condition may be reached and resource shortage resulting in disabled
MAC address learning may arise. Check the set value and accommodation value in advance so that the limit of the
accommodating condition will not be exceeded.
