[e-nsp] VLAN/FDB/MAC question

[Jay Nakamura]

To answer my own question, Extreme Support says this is by design and
they only have one FDB per switch and can't be fixed.

Consensus among other NSP lists is that it shouldn't be this way in
this day and age.

Does anyone have any counter information on this?  If this is the
case, I will have to drop using Extreme switches at all from now.
