1.
Enter system view.

2.
Enable ARP fast update for
MAC address moves.

By default, ARP fast update for
MAC address moves is disabled.
Enabling MAC address learning at ingress
The device can learn the source MAC address of a packet when it receives the packet or when it
sends out the packet.
Some devices learn MAC address at egress. The devices cannot learn MAC addresses if no egress
interfaces correspond to received packets. To avoid unnecessary broadcast traffic, enable MAC
address learning at ingress on the devices. The devices then can learn the source MAC address at
ingress before a packet is forwarded.

By default, the device learns MAC
addresses at egress.
Configuring the base MAC address
The base MAC address is the start MAC address of the 90 consecutive MAC addresses that are
reserved for system use. The base MAC address determines the higher 36 bits of the reserved MAC
addresses and the MAC addresses that can be assigned to Layer 3 interfaces.
When you configure the base MAC address, make sure the base MAC address plus 90 (decimal)
produces a MAC address that has the same higher 36 bits. When you assign a MAC address to a
Layer 3 interface, make sure the following requirements are met:
•
The MAC address must have the same higher 36 bits as the base MAC address.
