Removing Dynamic Address Entries

To remove all dynamic entries, use the clear mac address-table dynamic command in EXEC mode.
You can also remove a specific MAC address (clear mac address-table dynamic address mac-address),
remove all addresses on the specified physical port or port channel
(clear mac address-table dynamic interface interface-id), or remove all addresses on a specified
VLAN (clear mac address-table dynamic vlan vlan-id).
To verify that dynamic entries have been removed, use the show mac address-table dynamic privileged
EXEC command.
Configuring MAC Change Notification Traps
MAC change notification allows you to track users on a network by storing the MAC change activity on
the switch. Whenever the switch learns or removes a MAC address, an SNMP notification can be
generated and sent to the network management system. If you have many users entering and exiting the
network, you can set a trap interval time to bundle the notification traps and reduce network traffic. The
MAC notification history table stores the MAC address activity for each hardware port for which the trap
is enabled. MAC address notifications are generated for dynamic and static MAC addresses; events are
not generated for self addresses or multicast addresses.
To send MAC change notification traps to an NMS host, perform this task:

set this string by using the snmp-server host
