N2000 address table count excessive number
While we where deploying network change and moving access ports to another VLAN some ports seems to be stuck after VLAN change. The port status is UP and link auto negotiation is successful, since the host and the switch reports 1000 speed full duplex.
#show interfaces configuration gi1/0/10
Port Description Duplex Speed Neg MTU Admin

--------- ------------------------------ ------ ------- ---- ----- -----
Gi1/0/10 xxxxxxxxxx Full 1000 Auto 1518 Upinterface show status:

Gi1/0/10 xxxxxxxxxx Full 1000 Auto Up Off A 100While the host can see the link is active and is sending packets, the counters on the switch show null.

There is not unusual configuration applied to that port:
#show running-config interface gi1/0/10

switchport access vlan 100I have found one abnormality, it is dynamic addresses count at the maximum value filling 32 bits:
#show mac address-table count interface gi1/0/10
Capacity: 25600
Used: 4294967295
Static addresses: 0
Secure addresses: 0
Dynamic addresses: 4294967295
Internal addresses: 0while there is no addresses assigned to that port:
#show mac address-table interface gi1/0/10
Aging time is 300 Sec
Vlan Mac Address Type Port
-------- --------------------- ----------- ---------------------
Forwarding Database Empty.From the second last output is looks like a software bug, the switch cannot register any new MAC address, because Used counter is exceeding Capacity, resulting in dropping incoming packets.
This is model N2048 with software version 6.5.3.3, deployed in production as 4 unit stack, and we cannot easily reboot the stack at the moment.
Any thought on the above issue? Thanks.
