Monitoring Transparent Bridging

This section describes how to:

Set a statistics baseline for bridge groups and bridge interfaces.

Remove all dynamic MAC address entries or a specific dynamic MAC address entry from the forwarding table for bridge groups and bridge interfaces.

Use the show commands to monitor bridge groups, bridge group interfaces, and subscriber policies

NOTE: The E120 router and E320 router output for monitor and show commands is identical to output from other E-series routers, except that the E120 and E320 router output also includes information about the adapter identifier in the interface specifier (slot/adapter/port).

Setting Statistics Baselines

You can set a statistics baseline for a bridge group (by using the baseline bridge command) or for a bridge interface (by using the baseline bridge interface command).

baseline bridge
Use to set a statistics baseline for a specified bridge group.

The router implements the baseline by reading and storing the statistics at the time the baseline is set and then subtracting this baseline whenever baseline-relative statistics are retrieved.

Example
host1#baseline bridge westford03
There is no no version.
baseline bridge interface

Use to set a statistics baseline for a particular network interface belonging to a bridge group.

The router implements the baseline by reading and storing the statistics at the time the baseline is set and then subtracting this baseline whenever baseline-relative statistics are retrieved.

You must specify the following:

interfaceType—One of the following bridge interface types listed in Interface Types and Specifiers in JUNOSe Command Reference Guide, About This Guide:

atm

fastEthernet

gigabitEthernet

tenGigabitEthernet

interfaceSpecifier—Particular interface; format varies according to interface type; see Interface Types and Specifiers in JUNOSe Command Reference Guide, About This Guide for information
Example
host1#baseline bridge interface atm 3/3.1
There is no no version.
Removing Dynamic MAC Address Entries

You can remove all dynamic (learned) MAC address entries from the forwarding table for a bridge group (using the clear bridge command) or for a bridge interface (using the clear bridge interface command). You can also use the clear bridge address command to remove a specific dynamic MAC address entry from the forwarding table for a bridge group.

clear bridge
Use to remove all dynamic MAC address entries from the forwarding table for the specified bridge group.

Example
host1#show bridge westford01 table
  Bridge: westford01 MAC Address Table
   Address         Action         Interface          Age
--------------   ----------   -------------------   -----

  Bridge: westford01 MAC Address Table
   Address         Action         Interface          Age
--------------   ----------   -------------------   -----
There is no no version.
clear bridge address
Use to remove a specific dynamic MAC address entry from the forwarding table for the specified bridge group.

Example
host1#show bridge westford01 table
  Bridge: westford01 MAC Address Table
   Address         Action         Interface          Age
--------------   ----------   -------------------   -----
0090.1a01.0205   forward      ATM3/3.1                0
