show mac-address-table

Display the MAC address table.

Syntax show mac-address-table [dynamic | static] [address mac-address | interface interface | vlan vlan-id] [count [vlan vlan-id] [interface interface-type [ slot [ /port]]]]
Parameters
dynamic (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword dynamic to display only those MAC addresses the switch dynamically learns. Optionally, you can also add one of these combinations: address/ mac-address , interface/ interface , or vlan vlan-id .
static (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword static to display only those MAC addresses specifically configured on the switch. Optionally, you can also add one of these combinations: address/ mac-address , interface/ interface , or vlan vlan-id .
address mac-address (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword address then a MAC address in the nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format to display information on that MAC address.
interface interface (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword interface then the interface type, slot and port information:
  • For a Port Channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number. The range is from 1 to 128.
  • For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
interface interface-type (OPTIONAL) Instead of entering the keyword interface then the interface type, slot and port information, as above, you can enter the interface type, then just a slot number.
vlan vlan-id (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword vlan then the VLAN ID to display the MAC address assigned to the VLAN. The range is 1 to 4094.
count (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count, then optionally, by an interface or VLAN ID, to display total or interface-specific static addresses, dynamic addresses, and MAC addresses in use.

Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.4(0.0) Supported on the FN I/O Aggregator.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator.
Usage Information The following describes the show mac-address-table command shown in the following example.
Column Heading Description
VlanId Displays the VLAN ID number.
Mac Address Displays the MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
Type Lists whether the MAC address was manually configured (Static), learned dynamically (Dynamic), or associated with a specific port (Sticky).
Interface Displays the interface type and slot/port information. The following abbreviations describe the interface types:
  • gi — Gigabit Ethernet then a slot/port.
  • po — Port Channel then a number. The range is from 1 to 255 for TeraScale.
  • so —SONET then a slot/port.
  • te — 10 Gigabit Ethernet then a slot/port.
State Lists if the MAC address is in use (Active) or not in use (Inactive).
Example 
Dell#show mac-address-table
                                             VlanId Mac Address       Type     Interface  State
                                             20     00:00:c9:ad:f6:12 Dynamic  Te 0/3     Active

Usage Information

The following describes the show mac-address-table command shown in the following example.

Column Heading Description
VlanId Displays the VLAN ID number.
Mac Address Displays the MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
Type Lists whether the MAC address was manually configured (Static), learned (Dynamic), or associated with a specific port (Sticky). An (N) indicates that the specified MAC address has been learnt by a neighbor and is synced to the node.
Interface Displays the interface type and slot/port information. The following abbreviations describe the interface types:
  • gi — Gigabit Ethernet then a slot/port
  • po — Port Channel then a number. The range is from 1 to 255. \
  • so — SONET then a slot/port.
  • te — 10–Gigabit Ethernet then a slot/port.
State Lists if the MAC address is in use (Active) or not in use (Inactive).
The following describes the show mac-address-table count command shown in the following example.
Line Beginning With Description
MAC Entries... Displays the number of MAC entries learned per VLAN.
Dynamic Address... Lists the number of dynamically learned MAC addresses.
Static Address... Lists the number of user-defined MAC addresses.
Total MAC... Lists the total number of MAC addresses the switch uses.
Example (Count) 
Dell#show mac-address-table count
                                             MAC Entries for all vlans :
                                             Dynamic Address Count :                5
                                             Static Address (User-defined) Count :  0
                                             Total MAC Addresses in Use:            5
