  • 1.  Learned MAC with flag 0x2001f and deleted MAC with flag 0x1000

    Hi,

    I would like to ask. What would the flag code mean on the following two messages?
    Wed Mar 17 19:22:59 2021 vlan_name vlan_1847+1847 mac bc:91:b5:aa:d9:85 was learned on ae20.0 with flags: 0x2001f
    Wed Mar 17 19:22:59 2021 vlan_name vlan_1847+1847 mac ba:89:c8:df:47:91 was deleted from ae20.0 with flags: 0x1000​

    I found it when investigating in MAC learning behaviour by using "show ethernet-switching mac-learning-log" on EX switch device.

    The flags are not related to the L2 frames.  They are internal data structures used by l2ald (Layer-2 Address Learning Daemon) to indicate various pieces of information.

    Hi Jordan,

    Thank you for the answer. I'm currently investigate the EX device which running high CPU utilization with the highest process is l2ald. I got much changes on log message at "show ethernet-switching mac-learning-log" with part of them are the previous logs that I gave to you.  I may need the information regarding to the flag to identify the root cause. And when I get further investigation, There is a vlan with over 300000 mac addresses registered. Just might think that maybe a broadcast storm effect, but I'm not quite sure yet.

    Can you tell us what the information are they?
