2. Add a static local-MAC address entry.

mac-address static mac-address interface interface-type interface-number service-instance instance-id vsi vsi-name

By default, VXLAN VSIs do not have static local-MAC address entries.

For successful configuration, make sure the VSI has been created and the Ethernet service instance has been mapped to the VSI.

3. Add a static remote-MAC address entry.

mac-address static mac-address interface tunnel tunnel-number vsi vsi-name

By default, VXLAN VSIs do not have static remote-MAC address entries.

For the setting to take effect, make sure the VSI's VXLAN has been created and specified on the VXLAN tunnel.
