Clearing MAC address entries

You can remove learned MAC address entries from the MAC address table. The types of MAC address that can be removed are as follows:

For example, to remove entries for the MAC address 0000.0080.00d0 in all VLANs, enter the following command at the Privilege EXEC level of the CLI.

device# clear mac-address 0000.0080.00d0

If you enter clear mac-address without any parameter, the software removes all MAC address entries.

Use the mac-address parameter to remove a specific MAC address from all VLANs. Specify the MAC address in the following format: HHHH.HHHH.HHHH.

Use the ethernet port-num parameter to remove all MAC addresses for a specific Ethernet port.

Use the vlan-num parameter to remove all MAC addresses for a specific VLAN.
