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 HP StorageWorks Fabric Operating System Procedures Version
3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.
