OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide

Configures a static MAC address and associates that address with the specified Service Distribution Point 
(SDP) ID binding with the specified Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS).

no mac-address-table vpls service-id learned [mesh-sdp sdp-id[:vc-id]] mac-address 

An existing VPLS ID number.

A 48-bit MAC address (aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff). Valid addresses are any non-
broadcast, non-multicast MAC, and non-IEEE reserved addresses.

An existing SDP ID number that is bound to the specified service ID 
number.

Optional. The VC ID number appended to the specified SDP ID 
number. 

Specifies that the MAC address is a dynamically learned address. This 
option is only available with the no form of this command.

• Use the no form of this command to remove the configured static MAC from the source learning FDB.

• The specified VPLS ID and SDP ID must already exist in the VPLS configuration for the switch. See 

the “VPLS Commands” chapter in this guide for information about how to configure a VPLS and SDP.

• Static MACs associated with SDPs are classified as remote MACs. A remote MAC is used by the asso-

ciated VPLS so that MAC addresses are not learned on the edge device.

• A MAC address can participate in only one static MAC address entry (local or remote) for a specific 

VPLS.

• Static MAC addresses configured on one edge device are not propagated to other edge devices associ-

ated with the same VPLS instance. Each edge device has an independent forwarding database for the 
associated VPLS.
