Syntax

show bridge mac-table<brief | count | detail | extensive><bridge-domain (all | bridge-domain-name)><global-count><interface interface-name><mac-address><vlan-id (all-vlan | vlan-id)>

Release Information

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 8.4.

Description

(MX Series routers only) Display Layer 2 MAC address information.

Options

none

Display all learned Layer 2 MAC address information.

brief | count | detail | extensive

(Optional) Display the specified level of output.

bridge-domain (all | bridge-domain-name)

(Optional) Display learned Layer 2 MAC addresses for all bridging domains or for the specified bridging domain.

global-count

(Optional) Display the total number of learned Layer 2 MAC addresses on the system.

instance instance-name

(Optional) Display learned Layer 2 MAC addresses for the specified routing instance.

interface interface-name

(Optional) Display learned Layer 2 MAC addresses for the specified interface.

mac-address

(Optional) Display the specified learned Layer 2 MAC address information.

vlan-id (all-vlan | vlan-id)

(Optional) Display learned Layer 2 MAC addresses for all VLANs or for the specified VLAN.

Additional Information

When Layer 2 protocol tunneling is enabled, the tunneling MAC address 01:00:0c:cd:cd:d0 is installed in the MAC table. When the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), or VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) is configured for Layer 2 protocol tunneling on an interface, the corresponding protocol MAC address is installed in the MAC table.

Table 1: show bridge mac-table Output fields

Field Name

Field Description

Routing instance

Name of the routing instance.

Bridging domain

Name of the bridging domain.

MAC address

MAC address or addresses learned on a logical interface.

MAC flags

Status of MAC address learning properties for each interface:

  • S—Static MAC address is configured.
  • D—Dynamic MAC address is configured.
  • SE—MAC accounting is enabled.
  • NM—Non-configured MAC.

Logical interface

Name of the logical interface.

MAC count

Number of MAC addresses learned on the specific routing instance or interface.

Learning interface

Name of the logical interface on which the MAC address was learned.

Learning VLAN

VLAN ID of the routing instance or bridge domain in which the MAC address was learned.

Layer 2 flags

Debugging flags signifying that the MAC address is present in various lists.

Epoch

Spanning Tree Protocol epoch number identifying when the MAC address was learned. Used for debugging.

Sequence number

Sequence number assigned to this MAC address. Used for debugging.

Learning mask

Mask of the Packet Forwarding Engines where this MAC address was learned. Used for debugging.

IPC generation

Creation time of the logical interface when this MAC address was learned. Used for debugging.
