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. The value range for the vlan-id argument ranges is 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 the total number of MAC address entries that match all entry attributes you specify
in the command. For example, you can use the display mac-address vlan 20 dynamic count
command to display the total number of dynamic entries for VLAN 20. If no entry attribute is
specified, the command displays the total number of entries in the MAC address table. If this
keyword is not specified, the command displays MAC address entries that match all entry attributes
you specify in the command.
Usage guidelines
Each MAC address entry identifies in which VLAN a MAC address can be reached from which
interface.
