NOTE
When you disable egress flooding on the BlackDiamond 10K switch, you also turn off broadcasting.

Displaying Learning and Flooding Settings

To display the status of MAC learning and egress flooding, use the following command:
show ports {mgmt | <port_list>} information {detail}
Following is sample output from this command:
QB_Mariner.4 > show port 3:1 info

The BlackDiamond 10K switch has an additional flag: p - Load Sharing Algorithm, port-based.
Multicast FDB with Multiport Entry—Summit X450
Switch and BlackDiamond 8800 Chassis Only
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS version 11.3 on the BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the
Summit X450 switch, you can create FDB entries to multicast MAC addresses (that is, 01:00:00:00:00:01)
and list one or more ports. Use the
FDB address. Once traffic with a multicast MAC destination address enters the switch, that traffic is
multicast to all ports on the list.
However, if the MAC address is in the IP multicast range (for example, 01:00:5e:XX:XX:XX), IGMP
snooping rules take precedence over the multicast static FDB entry. Of course, if you disable IGMP
snooping on all VLANs, the static FDB entry forwards traffic.
