How can i detect a new entry in the fdb table ?

Hello every one,

How can i detect a new entry in the fdb table to associate it with a upm profil for start a upm script when a new mac arrived in the fdb table, i already look events in the log filter to associate it with a log target upm profile, but I did not find anything interesting.

Thank for your help (and sorry for my bad english)

Alex.

You can configure MAC tracking on the ports ports you'd like to detect MAC addresses on and add the following to the log filter. You can either choose one port, a range of ports or all:

code:

configure log filter defaultFilter add events FDB.MACTracking.MACAdd
configure fdb mac-tracking add ports [port(s)]

Once you've done the above you should see the following each time a MAC is added:

code:

01/01/2019 01:01:00.00  The MAC address 00:11:22:CC:01:01 was added on VLAN "Default, port 1

NOTE: Be aware that MAC Tracking can result in higher CPU utilization
