Description
Use this command to display the broadcast routing information for all ports in the switch. The
broadcast routing information indicates all ports that are members of the broadcast distribution tree
that is, ports that are able to send and receive broadcast frames.
Normally, all F_Ports and FL_Ports are members of the broadcast distribution tree. The broadcast
path selection protocol selects the E_Ports that are part of the broadcast distribution tree. The
E_Ports are chosen in such a way to prevent broadcast routing loops.
The following fields are displayed:
Group
Member Ports
Member ISL Ports
Static ISL Ports
The broadcast routing information for the ports is displayed as a set of hexadecimal bit maps. For
more information on reading hexadecimal bit maps, refer to the Fabric OS User's Guide.
Operands
None.
