Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to data communication technology, in particular to a method and device for learning a medium access control (MAC) address, and a service board. Background technique
[0002] In network processing equipment, packet forwarding is an extremely important link. The realization of packet forwarding mainly depends on the learning of MAC addresses. Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a network processing device adopting MAC address centralized learning in the prior art. The network processing device includes a main control board and one or more service boards. Wherein, the service board includes a port for receiving messages, and a forwarding table used for forwarding messages by the service board. After the service board receives the message from the port, assuming that the received message here is a message from a virtual local area network (VLAN), the service board obtains the source MAC address of the message, t...
