What is mnMacAddressesLearnt?
This read-only counter tracks the total number of MAC addresses the device has learned into its forwarding database. An admin monitors this counter to gauge MAC learning activity on the switch, such as spotting unusually rapid growth that could indicate a MAC flooding attack or a topology change. For example, if mnMacAddressesLearnt jumps by several thousand within a minute, the admin might investigate a possible spoofing or flooding event on the network.
