Selecting Types of Addresses to Display
You can display information from the bridging (or
forwarding database) for various types of addresses. Use the Bridging Database window to
specify the kind of address for which you want information
Procedure:
Step |
Action |
1 |
In the Bridging Database window, select the
type of addresses you want to display. For dynamic addresses, you can specify a
range of addresses to display. For addresses in a VSD, enter the VSD number for which you
want address information. |

Click Apply. |
Field Descriptions
Permanent
Addresses |
Displays MAC addresses entered manually by
a network manager. Permanent addresses are retained in memory even if power to the
module is interrupted or the switch is reset. Permanent entries are not affected by
address aging time, and can exist concurrently with dynamic entries having the same
address. |
Registered
Addresses |
Displays unicast MAC addresses that belongs
to communications hardware attached to the module, or a multicast address enabled by
protocol forwarders. |
Reserved
Addresses |
Displays MAC addresses reserved by the IEEE
802.1d standard. |
Static
Addresses |
Displays MAC addresses entered manually by
a network manager. Static address entries do not survive power cycles or system
resets. Static entries are not affected by address aging. |
Addresses
in VSD |
Displays MAC addresses in the specified
VSD. |
Dynamic
Addresses in the Range |
Displays MAC addresses automatically
learned by the VNswitch module. Dynamic address entries are stored in volatile RAM
and, therefore, do not survive power cycles or system resets. Dynamic entries are
affected by address aging. If the switch does not receive a datagram from the device
associated with a dynamic address within the period specified by the aging time, the
address is "unlearned" by the port. |
