Configuring Transparent Bridging

Monitoring and Maintaining the Transparent Bridge Network

Monitoring and Maintaining the Transparent Bridge Network

This section describes how to monitor and maintain activity on the bridged network. You can use one or more of the following commands in privileged EXEC mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

clear bridge bridge-group

Removes any learned entries from the forwarding database and clears

 

the transmit and receive counts for any statically configured

 

forwarding entries.

 

 

clear bridge [bridge-group]multicast

Removes multicast-group state information and clears the transmit

[router-ports groups counts]

and receive counts.

[group-address][interface-unit] [counts]

 

 

 

clear sse

Reinitializes the Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) on the Cisco 7000

 

series.

 

 

clear vlan statistics

Removes VLAN statistics from any statically or system configured

 

entries.

 

 

show bridge [bridge-group] [interface]

Displays details of the bridge group.

 

 

show bridge [bridge-group] [interface]

Displays classes of entries in the bridge forwarding database.

[address [mask]] [verbose]

 

 

 

show bridge [bridge-group]circuit-group

Displays the interfaces configured in each circuit group and show

[circuit-group][src-mac-address]

whether they are participating in load distribution.

[dst-mac-address]

 

 

 

show bridge [bridge-group]multicast

Displays transparent bridging multicast state information.

[router-ports groups] [group-address]

 

 

 

show bridge group [verbose]

Displays information about configured bridge groups.

 

 

show bridge vlan

Displays IEEE 802.10 transparently bridged VLAN configuration.

 

 

show interfaces crb

Displays the configuration for each interface that has been configured

 

for routing or bridging.

 

 

show interfaces [interface] irb

Displays the protocols that can be routed or bridged for the specified

 

interface.

 

 

show span

Displays the spanning-tree topology known to the router, including

 

whether or not filtering is in effect.

 

 

show sse summary

Displays a summary of SSP statistics.

 

 

show subscriber-policy policy

Displays the details of the subscriber policy.

 

 

show vlans

Displays a summary of VLAN subinterfaces.

BC-23 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking industry, and its BC-23 model exemplifies the company's commitment to innovation and performance. Aimed at enhancing business operations, the BC-23 is tailored for organizations looking for robust solutions that support their digital transformation efforts.

One of the standout features of the Cisco BC-23 is its advanced networking capabilities. It supports high-speed data transmission, enabling seamless communication across networks. With multi-gigabit Ethernet ports, the BC-23 facilitates faster data rates, accommodating the increasing bandwidth demands of modern applications. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely heavily on cloud services, video conferencing, and data-heavy applications.

Security is a top priority, and the Cisco BC-23 incorporates cutting-edge security measures. Integrated threat detection and prevention systems help safeguard sensitive data from cyber threats. Additionally, the device supports secure access protocols, ensuring that only authorized users can connect to the network. This multi-layered security approach not only protects the network infrastructure but also secures the integrity of the data being transmitted.

Another significant characteristic of the BC-23 is its support for software-defined networking (SDN). This technology allows businesses to manage their networks through centralized software applications, facilitating real-time adjustments and optimizations. The flexibility afforded by SDN is especially advantageous in dynamic environments where network demands can shift rapidly.

The Cisco BC-23 also offers enhanced management features, allowing IT teams to monitor network performance and analytics effectively. This visibility into network operations enables organizations to identify potential issues before they escalate, minimizing downtime and keeping business processes smooth.

Furthermore, the BC-23 is designed for scalability. As organizations grow, their networking needs evolve, and the BC-23 can easily adapt to these changes. Businesses can add additional devices and capabilities without the need for a complete overhaul of their existing infrastructure.

With its combination of speed, security, and scalability, the Cisco Systems BC-23 is an invaluable asset for modern businesses. It stands out not just as a networking device but as a comprehensive solution that meets the demands of today's fast-paced, technology-driven environment. As companies continue to leverage digital tools for growth and efficiency, the BC-23 will undoubtedly play a significant role in their success.
