After the MAC learning limit of 3000 is reached for the bd bridge domain as shown in the exhibit, what happens to frames that arrive that contain unknown unicast destination addresses?
A.
They are flooded.
B.
The are forwarded to the default gateway.
C.
They are dropped.
D.
They are forwarded to the IRB interface.
I would say C as “drop” is default action when MAC limiting violations occur
Agree. Should be C. Reference http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos95/swconfig-layer-2/layer-2-forwarding.html#mac-table-size-configuring
After the MAC address limit is reached, the default is for any incoming packets with a new source MAC address to be forwarded. You can specify that the packets be dropped by including the packet-action drop statement.
From this reference: http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/junos95/swconfig-layer-2/layer-2-forwarding.html#mac-table-size-configuring
After the MAC address limit is reached, the default is for any incoming packets with a new source MAC address to be forwarded. You can specify that the packets be dropped by including the packet-action drop statement. To specify that packets be dropped for the entire bridge domain, include the packet-action drop statement at the [edit bridge-domains bridge-domain-name bridge-options interface-mac-limit limit] hierarchy level: …..according above Reference , should be forwarded
I agree with AAA. Any Switch acts in this way, when their MAC table is full, it starts flooding. This is why the hackers are used to do the mac flooding (in fact to overwhelm the Sw MAC table)..
