Example for Configuring Blackhole MAC Address Entries
Networking Requirements
In Figure 2-14, the Switch receives packets from an unauthorized PC that has the MAC address of 0005-0005-0005 and belongs to VLAN 3. This MAC address entry can be configured as a blackhole MAC address entry so that the Switch filters out packets from the unauthorized PC.
Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
Create a VLAN for Layer 2 forwarding.
Configure a blackhole MAC address entry to filter out packets from the unauthorized PC.
Procedure
- Configure a blackhole MAC address entry.
# Create VLAN 3.
<HUAWEI> system-view [HUAWEI] sysname Switch [Switch] vlan 3 [Switch-vlan3] quit
# Configure a blackhole MAC address entry.
[Switch] mac-address blackhole 0005-0005-0005 vlan 3
- Verify the configuration.
# Run the display mac-address blackhole command in any view to check whether the blackhole MAC address entry is successfully added to the MAC address table.
