In ISPs, expecially users facing switches, it is important to monitor
number of macs per VLAN. Sometimes due misconfiguration, sometimes
malicious intent, and just due growth it is easy to miss moment when
switch will exceed internal resources.
This patch tested on NXOS: version 9.3(10), Nexus3064
Example snippet:
cisco_mactable_count{target="10.250.25.2",vlan="2015"} 86
cisco_mactable_count{target="10.250.25.2",vlan="2016"} 91
cisco_mactable_count{target="10.250.25.2",vlan="2018"} 160
cisco_mactable_count{target="10.250.25.2",vlan="2019"} 330

I am investigating report that probably it is causing CPU usage spike in old version of NX-OS. |

Load spike caused on switch with 40k MACs with 300+ vlans, with 2 minute polling interval. Changing interval to larger value solved problem. |
