Command History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
This command and its options are supported on physical interfaces, static LAGs,
LACP LAGs, and VLANs.
If you do not specify the vlan option, the MAC address counters are not VLAN-
based. That is, the sum of the addresses learned on all VLANs (not having any
learning limit configuration) is counted against the MAC learning limit.
