The MAC for a loopback is added to the L2FIB only when the loopback interface is added to a BD as BVI. If loopback MAC of a BVI is changed subsequently, there is no mechanism to automatically update its MAC in the L2FIB. -John

I see the interface MAC address is getting added to l2fib since it is a BVI. But when I change the interface MAC address (loopback’s), I don’t see the corresponding l2fib entry is not getting updated whereas the interface MAC is getting updated. Is the l2fib entry not-getting-updated for BVI upon changing the interface-MAC, expected? If yes, could you explain why? Thanks, Leela sankar
