Re: Weird Ethernet broadcast issue.
The only time a switch will flood unicast destined traffic for a single (non broadcast MAC address) to all ports is when it doesn't have a destination port mapped for that MAC address yet.
You could try to see if your MAC table has those addresses listed, and if not, try to see why the MAC addresses in question aren't being mapped into the 16 port switch.
You could also try statically assigning the MAC addresses in question to a specific port mapping.....
Again, the only time a switch with multiple broadcast domains will flood unicast to all ports is when it doesn't know the destination port for the unicast target.
But once the unicast target responds to the broadcast, the switch is supposed to make an entry in it's forwarding table. |
