Parameters

mac-address: Specifies a MAC address in the format of H-H-H. When entering a MAC address, you can omit the leading zeros in each H section. For example, enter f-e2-1 for 000f-00e2-0001.

vlan vlan-id: Specifies a VLAN by its ID in the range of 1 to 4094.

dynamic: Displays dynamic MAC address entries.

static: Displays static MAC address entries.

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.

blackhole: Displays blackhole MAC address entries.

multiport: Displays multiport unicast MAC address entries.

count: Displays only the number of MAC address entries that match all entry attributes you specify in the command. Detailed information about MAC address entries is not displayed. For example, you can use the display mac-address vlan 20 dynamic count command to display the number of dynamic entries for VLAN 20. If you do not specify an entry attribute, the command displays the number of entries in the MAC address table. If you do not specify this keyword, the command displays detailed information about the specified MAC address entries.

Usage guidelines

A MAC address entry includes a destination MAC address, an outgoing interface, and a VLAN ID.

If you do not specify any parameters, the command displays all MAC address entries.

This command displays dynamic MAC address entries for an aggregate interface only when the aggregate interface has at least one Selected member port.
