1 Open the Unicast Forwarding Database Configuration Menu by typing d in the Configuration Menu.

2 Type either a, p, or v, depending on the range of MAC addresses you want to view.

Type a to display the MAC addresses of all ports on the IntraCore 8000.

Type p to specify a port, then see the MAC addresses for that port only.

Type v to specify a VLAN, then see the MAC addresses for the member ports of that VLAN only.

3 At the prompt which appears, type y to see IP addresses in the display or type n to see the display without IP addresses, then press Return. The selected display appears.

Examples of the Unicast Forwarding Database table are shown in Figure 3- 18 (all ports, without IP displayed) and Figure 3-19 (one port, without IP displayed).

KNote: When the IP addresses are displayed, the age and priority are not displayed, as shown in Figure 3-19.
