You say you weren’t running spanning tree, but I thought topology change notification bridge PDUs caused a Mac flush, I don’t know For sure

I have noticed a symptom when a vlan trunk interface goes down/up,  all mac addresses in the vlans carried by that trunk also seem to be cleared at the same time. Im not just talking the mac addresses on the port itself; rather, across the other switches themselves , even for mac addresses that have no connection to the port itself they just happen to be in one of the vlans. If I have missed something fundamental I'd love to know but I am not aware of any lan switching rules that would require this behavior.
