for any statically configured forwarding entries.
Step 2 Router# show bridge
{
bridge-group-number
|
interface-address
}
Displays classes of entries in the bridge forwarding database.
Step 3 Router# show bridge verbose Displays detailed information about configured bridge groups.
Step 4 ML_Series# show spanning-tree
[
bridge-group-number
][brief]
Displays detailed information about spanning tree.
bridge-group-number restricts the spanning tree information to
specific bridge groups.
brief displays summary information about spanning t ree.
