sw mac find (mac address)
Use this command to find a MAC address and display port interface and age information.
Figure 13-16 Find MAC Address Example
Table 13-F Find MAC Address Example
FIELD DESCRIPTION
Ret This is the number of entries returned for this MAC address in the mAC Address learning
table.
Ifport This is the incoming port that the packet with this MAC address came from.
Age This is how many seconds this MAC address has been in the MAC address learning table.
Static “0” is a dynamic MAC address that is a MAC address that has been learned. Learned MAC
addresses older than 300 seconds are deleted if there are no more incoming packets from
