I know that Dug Song's macoffr tool and a few others will cause older
Nortel and some other older switches to "fail open" and more or less
behave like a hub once the mac table is full, but I haven't ever been
able to produce this across VLAN's (say across multiple Baystacks or
Catalysts). Do you have any docs on this?
