Field Descriptions

The following section describes the fields displayed using the

macstat

command.

Slot

. The slot number of the switch to which the MAC address statistics apply.

Discarded

. The number of MAC addresses that have been discarded on this slot due to the

CAM being full.

Aged

. The number of MAC addresses that have exceeded the age limit and been removed

from the CAM by this slot.

Learned

. The number of MAC address that have been learned on this slot.

in CAM

. The total number of MAC addresses currently stored in the Content-Addressable

Memory (CAM) of this module.

Clear Statistics of Bridge MAC Addresses

MAC address statistics for a slot can be cleared using the

macclrstat

command. To clear statis-

tics, enter the

macclrstat

command at the system prompt as shown:

macclrstat <slot>

where

<slot>

is the slot number of the switch for which you want to clear MAC address statis-

tics. For example, to clear statistics for slot 3, you would enter:

macclrstat 3

Once you have enter the command, a message appears to confirm the action.

As a variation of this command, you can enter

macclrstat

without specifying a slot. This will

clear MAC statistics for all slots.

Display Remote Trunking Stations

The

rts

command displays a table of the remote trunking stations learned by this switch. A

remote trunking station is a switch that has set up a trunking service to convey media through
a network. Trunking services allow for media to be masked so that it appears to be a differ-
ent type (for example, trunking ethernet over an ATM backbone). To display the remote
trunking stations this switch has learned, follow these steps:

1. Enter the

rts

command as shown

rts <groupNumber>

where

<groupNumber>

is the number of the group on the local switch for which you want

to view known trunking stations. For example, to view remote trunking stations for Group
1, you would enter the following:

rts 1

As a variation of this command, you can enter the

rts

command without a group number.

This will show all the remote trunking stations for all groups in this switch.
