Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions Switch/Router Clear Statistics of Bridge MAC Addresses, Display Remote Trunking Stations

Bridging Commands
Page 17-18
Field Descriptions
The following section describes the fields displayed using the macstat command.
Slot. The slot number of the switch to which the MAC address statistics apply.
Discarded. The number of MAC addresses that have been discarded on this slot due to the
CAM being full.
Aged. The number of MAC addresses that have exceeded the age limit and been removed
from the CAM by this slot.
Learned. The number of MAC address that have been learned on this slot.
in CAM. The total number of MAC addresses currently stored in the Content-Addressable
Memory (CAM) of this module.
Clear Statistics of Bridge MAC Addresses
MAC address statistics for a slot can be cleared using the macclrstat command. To clear statis-
tics, enter the macclrstat command at the system prompt as shown:
macclrstat <slot>
where <slot> is the slot number of the switch for which you want to clear MAC address statis-
tics. For example, to clear statistics for slot 3, you would enter:
macclrstat 3
Once you have enter the command, a message appears to confirm the action.
As a variation of this command, you can enter macclrstat without specifying a slot. This will
clear MAC statistics for all slots.
Display Remote Trunking Stations
The rts command displays a table of the remote trunking stations learned by this switch. A
remote trunking station is a switch that has set up a trunking service to convey media through
a network. Trunking services allow for media to be masked so that it appears to be a differ-
ent type (for example, trunking ethernet over an ATM backbone). To display the remote
trunking stations this switch has learned, follow these steps:
1. Enter the rts command as shown
rts <groupNumber>
where <groupNumber> is the number of the group on the local switch for which you want
to view known trunking stations. For example, to view remote trunking stations for Group
1, you would enter the following:
rts 1
As a variation of this command, you can enter the rts command without a group number.
This will show all the remote trunking stations for all groups in this switch.
