To display FDB entries, use the command:
show fdb {all | <mac_address> | vlan <name> | <portlist> |
permanent}
Where:
■ all — displays all FDB entries
■ mac_address — displays the entry for a particular MAC address
■ vlan <name> — displays the entries for a VLAN
Table 6-1 FDB Configuration Commands
Command Description
create fdbentry <mac_address> vlan
<name> <portlist>
Allows you to create a permanent FDB entry. Specify the
following:
■ mac_address — device MAC address, using colon
separated bytes
■ name — VLAN associated with MAC address
■ portlist — port number associated with MAC address
If more than one port number is associated with a
permanent MAC entry, packets will be multicast to the
multiple destinations.
config fdb agingtime <delay> Allows you to configure the FDB ageing time. The range is
15 through 1,000,000 seconds. The default value is 1800
seconds. A value of 0 indicates that the entry should
never be aged out.
