Unicast MAC Address in Switch Datasheet

[prashanma]

Hi Team,

Resource	LAN Lite (default)	LAN Base (default)
Unicast MAC addresses	16,000	16,000

Does this mean that switch support upto 16k mac addresses it self ?

[Mark Malone]

yes it can handle up to 16k mac addresses maximum

[prashanma]

Thank you Mark.

That mean we can store 16k mac address on that particular switch.

So how it works ? How we know that our mac address table filled up ?

[Mark Malone]

yes but unlikely you'd have that many macs , if you did manage to hit 16k it will alert on the switch to notify you

to see the count
sh mac address-table count
show sdm prefer

Thanks for the support
