show interfaces mac-database (Gigabit Ethernet)

Syntax

show interfaces mac-database (ge-fpc/pic/port | ge-fpc/pic/port.n)<mac-address mac-address>

Release Information

Command introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Description

(M Series, T Series, and MX Series routers only) Display media access control (MAC) address information for the specified Gigabit Ethernet interface.

Options

ge-fpc/pic/port

Display MAC addresses that have been learned on all logical interfaces on a particular physical interface.

ge-fpc/pic/port.n

Display MAC addresses that have been learned on a particular logical interface.

mac-address mac-address

(Optional) Display detailed MAC address statistics, including policer information.

Additional Information

On IQ2 PIC interfaces, the default value for maximum retention of entries in the MAC address table has changed, for cases in which the table is not full. The new holding time is 12 hours. The previous retention time of 3 minutes is still in effect when the table is full.

Table 1: show interfaces mac-database Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Physical Interface

Physical interface

Name of the physical interface.

Enabled

State of the physical interface. Possible values are described in the “Enabled Field” section under Common Output Fields Description.

Interface index

Physical interface index number, which reflects its initialization sequence.

SNMP ifIndex

SNMP index number for the physical interface.

Description

Description and name of the interface.

Link-level type

Encapsulation being used on the physical interface.

MTU

MTU size on the physical interface.

Speed

Speed at which the interface is running.

Loopback

Whether loopback is enabled and the type of loopback: local or remote.

Source filtering

Whether source filtering is configured.

Flow control

Whether flow control is enabled or disabled.

Device flags

Information about the physical device. Possible values are described in the “Device Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.

Interface flags

Information about the interface. Possible values are described in the “Links Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.

Link flags

Information about the link. Possible values are described in the “Device Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.

Logical Interface

Logical interface

Name of the logical interface.

Index

Logical interface index number, which reflects its initialization sequence.

SNMP ifIndex

Logical interface SNMP interface index number.

Flags

Information about the logical interface (possible values are described in the “Logical Interface Flags” section under Common Output Fields Description.

Encapsulation

Encapsulation on the logical interface.

MAC address, Input frames, Input bytes, Output frames, Output bytes

MAC address and corresponding number of input frames, input bytes, output frames, and output bytes.

Number of MAC addresses

Number of MAC addresses configured.

Policer Statistics

(Displayed for mac-address option only) Display information about policers applied to a logical interface-MAC pair.

  • Policer type—Type of policer that is out of spec with respect to the configuration. It can be one or more of the following:
    • Input premium—Number of high-priority rating out-of-spec frames or bytes received.
    • Output premium—Number of high-priority rating out-of-spec frames or bytes sent.
    • Input aggregate—Total number of out-of-spec frames or bytes received.
    • Output aggregate—Total number of out-of-spec frames or bytes sent.
  • Discarded Frames—Number of discarded frames.
  • Discarded Bytes—Number of discarded bytes.
