is there a way to see/log MAC address table activity and history?

Question

I use Brocade ICX 6450 switches and sometimes my end-users will unplug devices, move them to different ports and so on it would be helpful to have a log of port and MAC address activity/changes. Is it possible?

Hello Jerry,Here is a sample config and its output.The following example enables notification of MAC address moves and sends an SNMP trap when any MAC address moves to a
different port five times in a 10-second interval.

You could use the mac-movement notification feature:http://docs.ruckuswireless.com/fastiron/08.0.30/fastiron-08030-l2guide/GUID-252D70AC-FAF4-4E27-A39B-AFB5DA3F7B6F.html

we chased this rabbit a few weeks ago. use 802.1x or NAC to control and log.https://www.ruckuswireless.com/products/software-and-saas/cloudpath
I edited this and added Ruckus's security offering.
