Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation

Status and Counters Data

Enter MAC address: _

2.Type the MAC address you want to locate and press [Enter]. The address is highlighted if found. If the switch does not find the address, it leaves the MAC address listing empty.

CLI Access for MAC Address Views and Searches

Syntax: show mac-address [vlan <vlan-id>] [ethernet]<port-list>] [<mac-addr>]

To List All Learned MAC Addresses on the Switch, with The Port

Number on Which Each MAC Address Was Learned.

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100> show mac-address

To List All Learned MAC Addresses on one or more ports, with Their

Corresponding Port Numbers.

For example, to list the learned MAC

address on ports 1 through 5 and port 7:

 

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100> show mac-address 1-5,7

 

To List All Learned MAC Addresses on a VLAN, with Their Port

 

Numbers. This command lists the MAC addresses associated with the ports

 

for a given VLAN. For example:

 

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100> show mac-address vlan 100

 

 

N o t e

The SMC6624M switch has a Single Forwarding Database architecture. This

 

means the switch has only a single MAC address table, and not a separate MAC

 

address table per VLAN.

 

To Find the Port On Which the Switch Learned a Specific MAC

 

 

Address. For example, to find the port on which the switch learns a MAC

 

address of 0060b0-889e00:

 

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100> show mac-address 0060b0-889e00
