Hi!

I'm not sure that this is what are you looking for, but check here:

If you are trying to disable mac-address learning on VPLS, only way to do is to limit the VLAN mac-addresses globally. (Limit the vlan where u gave the command xconnect vfi).

You can control mac-address learning for a VLAN by using this switchport command on a trunk.

Router(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 3 vlan 102

Or simply use this to allow only a certain number of mac's per access port.

Router(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 1

Here is the command reference.

PS: you cannot totally stop mac learning as the valid values are from 1-4097 so you cant set it to zero and i believe you dont want to as well , since you have a layer2/3 environment.

HTH-Cheers,

you can disable vlan MAC learning by douing this: (config) no mac-address-table learning vlan

Would anyone know what CODE (IOS) might be required on a Catalyst SW to be able to turn off the default SW behavior and control the switching with static MAC entries instead ? I might also need to turn off broadcast and switch traffic only for specific HOSTS so there is no flooding out other ports when the destination is unknown.

you can use remote-span for this vlan
