Table 119: show bridge groups details Output Fields

Field Name	Field Description
BridgeGroup	Name of the VPLS instance for which information is displayed
Bridge Mode	Bridging capability currently enabled; for a VPLS instance, this field always displays default
Aging Time	Length of time, in seconds, that a MAC address entry can remain in the forwarding table before expiring
Learning	Whether acquisition of dynamically learned MAC addresses is enabled or disabled
Max Learn	Maximum number of dynamic MAC addresses that the VPLS instance can learn
Link Status Snmp Traps	Whether SNMP link status processing is enabled or disabled
Subscriber Policy	Name of the subscriber policy currently in effect
Port Count	Number of ports currently configured for the VPLS instance, including network interfaces and the VPLS virtual core interface
Interface Count	Number of network interfaces currently configured for the VPLS instance
Transport Virtual Rtr	Name of the transport virtual router configured for the VPLS instance
Route Distinguisher	Unique route distinguisher configured for the VPLS instance
SiteName	Site name configured for the VPLS instance
SiteId	Numerical site identifier configured for the VPLS instance
Multi-homed	Status of the site. Yes designates a multihomed site. No designates a site that is not multihomed.
