bridge address

Use this command to map a static address to a port in a VLAN. Use the no form to remove an address.

Syntax

bridge bridge-group address mac-address vlan vlan-id forward interface [action]
no bridge bridge-group address address vlan vlan-id

• bridge-group - Bridge group index (bridge 1).
• Mac-address - MAC address.
• vlan-id - VLAN ID (Range: 1-4094)
• interface
  • ethernet unit/port
    • unit - This is device 1.
    • port - Port number.
  • port-channel channel-id (Range: 1-2)
• action -
  • delete-on-reset: Assignment lasts until switch is reset.
  • permanent: Assignment is permanent.

Default Setting

• No static addresses are defined.
• The default mode is permanent.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

The static address for a host device can be assigned to a specific port within a specific VLAN. Use this command to add static addresses to the MAC Address Table. Static addresses have the following characteristics:

• Static addresses will not be removed from the address table when a given interface link is down.
• Static addresses are bound to the assigned interface and will not be moved. When a static address is seen on another interface, the address will be ignored and will not be written to the address table.

Example

(config)#bridge 1 address 00-e0-29-94-34-de vlan 1 forward ethernet 1/1 delete-on-reset (config)#

clear bridge

Use this command to remove any learned entries from the forwarding database and to clear the transmit and receive counts for any static or system configured entries.

Syntax

clear bridge [bridge-group]

bridge-group - Bridge group index (bridge 1).

Default Setting

None

Command Mode

Privileged Exec

Example

#clear bridge 1 #

show bridge

Use this command to view classes of entries in the bridge-forwarding database.

Syntax

show bridge bridge-group [interface] [address [mask]] [vlan vlan-id] [sort {address | vlan | interface}]

• bridge-group - Bridge group index (bridge 1)
• interface
  • ethernet unit/port
    • unit - This is device 1.
    • port - Port number.
  • port-channel channel-id (Range: 1-2)
• address - MAC address.
• mask - Bits to ignore in the address.
• vlan-id - VLAN ID (Range: 1-4094)
• sort - Sort by address, vlan or interface.

Default Setting

None

Command Mode

Privileged Exec

Command Usage

• The MAC Address Table contains the MAC addresses associated with each port.
• You can use the show bridge command to display addresses associated with an address or VLAN.
• Note that the Type field may include the following types:
  • Learned - dynamic address entries
  • Permanent - static entry
  • Delete-on-reset - static entry to be deleted when system is reset

Example

#show bridge 1  Interface Mac Address       Vlan Type  --------- ----------------- ---- -----------------   Eth 1/ 7 00-10-b5-62-03-74    1 Learned   Eth 1/ 7 00-e0-29-94-34-1d    1 Learned #

bridge-group aging-time

Use this command to set the aging time for entries in the address table. Use the no form to restore the default aging time.

Syntax

bridge-group bridge-group aging-time seconds
no bridge-group bridge-group aging-time

• bridge-group - Bridge group index (bridge 1).
• seconds - Time is number of seconds (17-2184).

Default Setting

Disabled

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

The aging time is used to age out dynamically learned forwarding information.

Example

(config)#bridge-group 1 aging-time 300 (config)#

show bridge group aging-time

Use this command to show the aging time for entries in the address table.

Syntax

show bridge group bridge-group aging-time

bridge-group - Bridge group index (bridge 1)

Default Setting

None

Command Mode

Privileged Exec

Example

#show bridge group 1 aging-time  Aging time: 300 sec. #
