By default, the number of MAC addresses it can +learn is limited. + +You can configure the limit using the following command: + +```{cfgcmd} set vpp settings resource-allocation mac-limit \<value\> +``` + +This parameter sets the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be +learned in the L2 domain.
