•All MAC address entries

•All MAC address entries for a specified interface module

•All MAC address entries for a specified Ethernet port

•All MAC address entries for a specified VLAN

•A specified MAC address entry in all VLANs

For example, to remove entries for the MAC address 000d.cb80.00d in all VLANs, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.

Brocade# clear mac-address 000d.cb80.00d0

Syntax: clear mac-address<mac-address> [ethernet <slot-num>/<port-num>] [module <slot-num>] vlan <number>

•If you enter the clear mac-addresscommand without any parameters, the software removes all MAC entries.

•Use the <mac-address>parameter to remove a specified MAC address from all VLANs. Specify the MAC address in the following format: HHHH.HHHH.HHHH.

•Use the ethernet <slot-num>/<port-num>parameter to remove all MAC addresses for a specified Ethernet port. For the <slot> parameter, enter the number of the device slot in which the Ethernet interface module is installed. For the <port> parameter, enter the Ethernet port for which to remove all MAC addresses.

•Use the module <slot-num>parameter to remove all MAC addresses for an interface module in a specified device slot.
