DHCP and Static IP host: Binds IP and MAC address to a Port
Static IP Subnet: Checks individual host IP addresses to the subnet and binds the
subnet to a port.
The following capacities apply to Static IP Addresses/Subnets within the E-Series
VDSL2 subsystem.
♦
1 Static IP subnet can be provisioned per xDSL Ethernet service.
♦
4 Static IP hosts can be provisioned per xDSL Ethernet service.
♦
8 Static IP hosts/subnets can be provisioned per xDSL port, across all
services.
♦
256 Static addresses total per port (includes static addresses and sizes of static
subnets)
♦
16 DHCP Leases per port (defined in the Ethernet Security Profile with a
default setting of 8).
Disabling MAC Learning causes traffic within the VLAN to be flooded to all egress
interfaces with membership in the VLAN, which can degrade throughput.
Disable MAC Learning for MEF point-to-point Ethernet Private Line (EPL) and
Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) services to allow service delivery without the E-
Series adding any subscriber MAC addresses to the E-Series forwarding table.
Disabling MAC Learning should only be done with point-to-point services and is NOT
appropriate for a multi-point Ethernet-LAN (ELAN) service or other VLAN-per-service
applications.
MACFF can only be used in conjunction with DHCP Snoop.
Enable MACFF to limit broadcast traffic on the VLAN domain when using the VLAN
Per Service model. It is not required for the VLAN per Port (single and double-tagged,
Q-in-Q) data model or PPPoE because this VLAN model by definition limits the
broadcast domain to a single access node and the router and makes it easier to manage
the broadcast load. However, MACFF should still be enabled on these VLANs when the
subscriber edge does not include a residential gateway.
For E-Series VDSL2, MAC Forced Forwarding (MAC FF) can be used with the
following IP hosts:
IP hosts learned via DHCP Snooping
IP hosts statically provisioned (IP and MAC)
IP hosts statically provisioned (IP address only)
IP subnets statically provisioned (single IP address/MAC)
MAC Forced Forwarding supports a single source MAC address with multiple source IP
addresses, when the MAC address is not specified.
IP Source Verify is not supported for a source MAC address with multiple IP addresses.
For E-Series VDSL2, MAC FF can be used with static IP subnets.
