Displaying the MAC address table

To display the MAC table, enter the show mac-address command. 

device# show mac-address
Total active entries from all ports = 3
Total static entries from all ports = 1
  MAC-Address    Port     Type   VLAN
0000.0034.1234     15   Static      1
0000.0038.2f24     14  Dynamic      1
0000.0038.2f00     13  Dynamic      1
0000.0086.b159     10  Dynamic      1

In the output of the show mac-address command, the Type column indicates whether the MAC entry is static or dynamic. A static entry is one you create using the static-mac-address command. A dynamic entry is one that is learned by the software from network traffic.

Note: The show mac-address command output does not include MAC addresses for management ports, since these ports do not support typical MAC learning and MAC-based forwarding.
