# Monitoring VPLS Configuration and Statistics for a Specific VPLS Instance

#### Purpose

Display configuration and statistics information for the specified VPLS instance.

#### Action

To display configuration information for a specified VPLS (vplsA):

    host1#show bridge vplsA

      BridgeGroup: vplsA(vpls)

            Bridge Mode:            default
            Aging Time:             300 secs
            Learning:               Enabled
            Max Learn:              Unlimited
            Link Status Snmp Traps: Disabled
            Subscriber Policy:      default Subscriber
            Port Count:             2
            Interface Count:        1
            Transport Virtual Rtr:  default
            Route Distinguisher:    1.1.1.1:10
            SiteName:               boston
            SiteId:                 1
            Multi-homed:            Yes
            Site-Priority:          45
            SiteRange:              10
            VPLS Route Targets
              Route Target: RT:100:1 (both)
              Route Target: RT:100:2 (both)
            Flood Next Hop: Index 1048577

Use the all keyword to display address table and statistics information for all network interfaces associated with the VPLS instance.

#### Meaning

Table 118 lists the show bridge command output fields.

Table 118: show bridge 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.
Site-Priority | Priority value for the VPLS instance for the multihomed site; displayed only when the value for the Multi-homed field is Yes
SiteRange | Maximum number of sites that can participate in the VPLS domain associated with the VPLS instance
VPLS Route Targets | Extended community identifiers, also known as route targets, for each VPLS instance configured on the router
Flood Next Hop | Index of the MPLS next hop to which the router floods packets with unknown destination addresses. For more information about displaying MPLS next hops and any available next-hop statistics, see Monitoring MPLS Next Hops.
