Monitoring Bridged Ethernet

You can:

Display information about bridged Ethernet interfaces by using the show bridge1483 interface command.
Monitor MAC address validation by using the show ip mac-validate interface command.
Display information about VLANs configured on bridged Ethernet interfaces by using the show vlan subinterface command.

Bridged Ethernet interfaces are not bound to a specific virtual router (VR).

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).

show bridge1483 interface

Use to display configuration and status information for all bridged Ethernet interfaces currently configured on the router.
Use the atm keyword and an interface specifier to display information for a bridged Ethernet interface that is stacked over an ATM subinterface.
Use the summary keyword to display only a count of all bridged Ethernet interfaces configured on the router.

- MAC Address—MAC address assigned to the bridged Ethernet interface, if configured
- Type—Type of interface: static or dynamic
- Oper/Admin MTU—Operational MTU, which is the MTU at which the interface actually operates, and administrative MTU, which is the MTU configured for the interface; the administrative MTU displays 1518 (the default value) if not configured

  - Multicast—Number of multicast packets sent
  - Broadcast—Number of broadcast packets sent
  - Errors—Total number of errors in all transmitted packets; some packets might contain more than one error

  - ARP responses—Number of ARP responses
  - Errors—Total number of errors in all ARP packets
  - Discards—Total number of discarded ARP packets

show vlan subinterface
