Clearing the RIF Table
If there is a topology change in your network, you most likely will need to clear one or more
RIFs from the table so that SRTB can relearn them. You can clear specific entries for MAC
addresses in the RIF table, or flush the entire table with the srtbclrrif command. To clear an
entry in the RIF table:
1. Enter the srtbclrrif command at the system prompt. The following prompt appears:
Enter MAC address ([000000:000036] or return for none) :
Enter the MAC address for the RIF entry you wish to clear in canonical or non-canonical
form, and press <return>. If you enter <return> without a MAC address, you will flush the
entire table of RIF entries.
2. Once you have entered the MAC address, the following prompt appears:
Is this MAC in Canonical or Non-Canonical (C or N) [N] :
If you entered the MAC address in canonical form, enter a c. If you entered the MAC
address in non-canonical form, enter an n. If you respond incorrectly, the RIF entry will
not be deleted.
3. Once you entered the distinction of canonical or non-canonical, the following prompt
appears to verify the deletion on the RIF entry:
RIF clear successfully!
