Column Heading Description
VlanId Displays the VLAN ID number.
Mac Address Displays the MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
Type Lists whether the MAC address was manually congured (Static), learned dynamically
(Dynamic), or associated with a specic port (Sticky).
Interface Displays the interface type and slot/port information. The following abbreviations describe
the interface types:
• gi — Gigabit Ethernet then a slot/port.
• po — Port Channel then a number. The range is from 1 to 255 for TeraScale.
• so —SONET then a slot/port.
• te — 10 Gigabit Ethernet then a slot/port.
State Lists if the MAC address is in use (Active) or not in use (Inactive).
