Not there at - it no learning of MAC in vSS or vDS?

Hi all

Sometimes, I found that a document said that there is no learning of MAC in vSS or vDS? Is this true?

The original statement is: «detect with authority what reception filters configured for the virtual Ethernet cards - no learning of MAC»

What it means?

Thank you

virtual switches in an ESX environment do not contain a picture of cam, therefore, do not store the MAC address information.  either upstream or downstream, this is handled by the vmkernel.  It is also by design, because there is no CAM table that they do not suffer from problems of Spanning tree, but of course do your physical switches upstream.
