Viewing the RIF Table
A Routing Information Field (RIF) is stored for each MAC address learned on a token ring
port. One RIF is stored for each MAC address. The maximum size of each RIF is 32 bytes
(long enough to traverse 15 bridge hops)
Once a RIF is learned for a MAC address, it is maintained until the MAC address is aged out
of the CAM. You can view a list of RIFs using the
srtbrif command. To view the RIF table
follow these steps:
1. Enter the srtbrif command at the menu prompt. The following prompt is displayed:
Enter MAC address ([XXYYZZ:AABBCC] or return for none) :
Enter the MAC address for which you want to see the RIF and press <return> , or enter a
<return> without a MAC address to list all RIFs.
2. Once you enter a MAC address (or <return> ), the following prompt appears:
Enter Group ID (return for all Group) :
Enter a group ID and press <return> , or enter a <return> without a group ID to list the RIFs
for all groups.
3. Once you enter the group ID (or <return> ), a screen similar to the following appears:
Group Non-Canonical CAM

Field Descriptions
The following section describes the fields shown using the srtbrif command.
Port . This field lists the slot, port number, service type, and instance number for where the
RIF was learned for this MAC address.
Group ID . The group number with which this RIF is associated.
Non-Canonical MAC Address . The MAC address for this RIF. It is shown in non-canonical form.
CAM Indx . The index number in the Content-Addressable Memory (CAM), where the MAC
addresses are stored, in hexadecimal form.
Len . The length of the RIF packet, in bytes.
RIF . The RIF address for this MAC address.
