Abstract: A method includes: A control plane of a network device obtains a first MAC entry, and sends the first MAC entry and a first identifier to a forwarding plane of the network device. The forwarding plane stores the first MAC entry in a first MAC table, and a state of the first MAC entry is set to a valid state. The forwarding plane changes the state of the first MAC entry to an invalid state after first preset duration elapses and when a first preset condition is met, and sets invalid duration for the first MAC entry. The first preset condition is that the forwarding plane does not receive traffic corresponding to a first MAC address within the first preset duration after storing the first MAC entry.
