•IPX address—ipx_net.ipx_node (for example 3.0034.1245.AB45, A43.0000.0000.0001)
Up to 16 routers can be included explicitly as MLS-RPs.
To use a router as an MLS, you must meet these conditions:
•The router must be included (either explicitly or automatically) in the MLS-SE.
•The MLS feature must be enabled in the Catalyst6500 series switches.
•Catalyst 6500 series switches must know the router’s MAC-VLAN pairs.
Use the following syntax to specify an IP subnet address:
•ip_subnet_addr—This is the short subnet address format. The trail ing deci mal num be r 00 in an IP
address YY.YY.YY.00 specifies the boundary for an IP subnet address. For example, 172.22.36.00
indicates a 24-bit subnet address (subnet mask 172.22.36.00/255.255.25 5.0), and 17 3.2 4.00. 00
indicates a 16-bit subnet address (subnet mask 173.24.00.00/255.255.0.0). However, this format can
identify only a subnet address of 8, 16, or 24 bits.
•ip_addr/subnet_mask—This is the long subnet address format. For example,
172.22.252.00/255.255.252.00 indicates a 22-bit subnet address. This format can specify a sub net
address of any bit number. To provide more flexibility, the ip_addr is a full host address, such as
172.22.253.1/255.255.252.00.
•ip_addr/maskbits—This is the simplified long subnet address format. The mask bits specify the
number of bits of the network masks. For example, 172.22.252.00/22 indicates a 22-bit subnet
address. The ip_addr is a full host address, such as 193.22.253.1/22, which has the same subnet
address as the ip_subnet_addr.
A 0 value for src_port and dest_port clears all entries. Unspecified options are treated as wildcards, and
all entries are cleared.
If you enter any of the clear mls commands on a Catalyst 6500 series switch without MLS, this warning
message displays:
Feature not supported in hardware.
Examples This example shows how to clear all specific MLS entries:
Console> (enable) clear mls statistics entry ip all
Multilayer switching entry cleared
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to clear specific IPX MLS entries for a destination IPX address:
Console> (enable) clear mls statistics entry ipx destination 1.0002.00e0.fefc.6000
MLS IPX entry cleared.
Console> (enable)
