Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 8.4.

Support for the switch-options statement added in Junos OS Release 9.2.

Support for top-level configuration for the virtual-switch type of routing instance added in Junos OS Release 9.2. In Junos OS Release 9.1 and earlier, the routing instances hierarchy supported this statement only for a VPLS instance or a bridge domain configured within a virtual switch.

Support for logical systems added in Junos OS Release 9.6.

Support at [edit switch-options], [edit switch-options interface interface-name], [edit vlans vlan-name switch-options], and [edit vlans vlan-name switch-options interface interface-name] hierarchy levels introduced in Junos OS Release 12.3R2 for EX Series switches.

Support at hierarchy levels under [edit vlans vlan-name] introduced in Junos OS Release 13.2X50-D10 for EX Series switches.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 13.2 for the QFX Series.

Description

(MX Series routers, EX Series switches, and the QFX Series) Configure a limit to the number of MAC addresses that can be learned from a bridge domain or VLAN, virtual switch, or set of bridge domains or VLANs.

Default

All devices except the EX Series switches: 1024 MAC addresses for each logical interface; EX Series switches: 65,536 MAC addresses for each interface and VLAN.

Options

limit—Maximum number of MAC addresses learned from an interface.

Range: 1 through 131,071 MAC addresses per interface, or 1 through 65,535 MAC addresses per interface

The remaining statement is explained separately.
