mac address-table move update command

[Cisco Freak]

Hi Team,

Can anyone please give more information about this command?  Is this something related to MAC address flapping.

Hello,

No, the MAC Address-Table Move mechanism is a feature found on Cisco Catalyst switches that reduces convergence time in networks after a primary link has failed and has been replaced by a pre-configured backup link. Read more about this mechanism here:

The show command you have posted shows you the statistics about this feature; the output is not related to MAC address flappings.

Best regards,
Peter
