MAC Auto Learning
If you are using MAC Auto Learning in your RedMAX sector, ensure that all of your
subscriber units are configured with learning enabled. The typical, auto-learning
provisioning template uses a blank downlink and uplink classifier for each service flow.
When learning is disabled, a blank classifier is treated as "pass-all".
Each service flow must have unique classification rules sector-wide in the downlink. This
is not the case for the uplink, where uniqueness must only be subscriber-wide. A pass-all
downlink classifier matches any packet coming into the AN100U/UX. Combine this with the
fact that classifiers of the same priority are checked in order of creation, then you can see
how this one classifier can quickly cause sector-wide connectivity issues.
Changing the Learning Mode
When Learning Enabled is disabled (set to No) on a subscriber unit, then all generic
classifiers on active service flows on that subscriber unit will operate as pass-all filters
directing all same/lower priority downlink traffic in the sector to the particular subscriber
unit.
If you opt to disable MAC auto learning on one or more subscriber units, you should delete
all classifiers before disabling auto-learning in order to prevent network connectivity
issues.
Step 1
Identify the subscriber unit to be modified. (Learning Enabled = Yes). You will need the
device’s MAC address.
a.
Login to the CLI as outlined in “Connecting to the Subscriber Unit Command Line
Interface” on page 2-6.
b.
Enter the following command:
show interfaces
c.
Record the MAC address for this subscriber unit.
Step 2
Identify the downlink service flow(s) associated with this subscriber unit.
a.
Login to the Web client as outlined in “Connecting to the Sector Controller Web Client”
on page 2-4.
b.
Navigate to Service Configuration > Service Flows.
c.
On the Service Flows Configuration page, locate the downlink service flow(s)
associated with this subscriber unit’s MAC address, have "no-criteria" or blank
classifiers.
