Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for automatically troubleshooting problems related to Media Access Control (“MAC”) address limit problems within a virtual local area network (“VLAN”). An exemplary method includes identifying a media access control (“MAC”) address alert within a network, referencing a translation table of a plurality of MAC addresses to detect a whether a number of MAC addresses in the network exceeds a threshold number, and providing a solution for the MAC address alert. An exemplary system includes a rules building engine for identifying a media access control (“MAC”) address alert within a network, referencing a translation table of a plurality of MAC addresses to detect a whether a number of MAC addresses in the network exceeds a threshold number, and providing a solution for the MAC address alert. A further exemplary embodiment is related to a computer readable storage medium storing a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions being operable to identify a media access control (“MAC”) address alert within a network, reference a translation table of a plurality of MAC addresses to detect a whether a number of MAC addresses in the network exceeds a threshold number, and provide a solution for the MAC address alert.
