Syntax

show mac-vrf forwarding interface
<brief | detail | extensive>
<interface-name>

Description

Show Ethernet switching information about all the interfaces within all active MAC-VRF routing instances.

Options

none

Show brief Ethernet switching information about all the interfaces within all MAC-VRF routing instances.

brief | detail | extensive (Optional) Show the specified level of output.
interface-name (Optional) Show the Ethernet switching information for the specified interface only.
Note:

We've implemented the show mac-vrf commands on all supported platforms. If a particular platform doesn't support a specific sub-command or option, when you run the command, the output is empty. For example, show mac-vrf forwarding age is available only on MX Series platforms. If you run that command on any other supported platform, the output is empty.

Additional Information

On MX Series routers and the EX9200 line of switches, this command hierarchy is an alias for the show l2-learning instance command hierarchy.

On QFX Series switches, this command hierarchy is an alias for the show ethernet-switching interface command hierarchy.

MAC limit Maximum number of MAC address entries allowed for each interface. The MAC limit for each member interface must add up to less than the total MAC limit for the aggregated Ethernet interface.
MAC+IP limit Maximum number of MAC+IP address entries allowed for each interface. The MAC+IP limit for each member interface must add up to less than the total MAC+IP limit for the aggregated Ethernet interface.
STP state The spanning tree protocol state for the displayed VLAN member interfaces.
Logical interface flags
DL disable learning
AD packet action drop
LH MAC limit hit
DN interface down
MMAS MAC move action shutdown
AS Autostate-exclude enabled
SCTL shutdown by storm control
MI MAC+IP limit hit
Tagging Display shows tagged, or blank depending on whether the interface is tagged or not.
