Layer 2
The Aggregator supports CLI commands to manage the MAC address table:
• Clearing the MAC Address Entries
• Displaying the MAC Address Table
The Aggregator auto-congures with support for Network Interface Controller (NIC) Teaming.
NOTE: On an Aggregator, all ports are congured by default as members of all (4094) VLANs, including the default
VLAN. All VLANs operate in Layer 2 mode. You can recongure the VLAN membership for individual ports by using the
vlan tagged or vlan untagged commands in INTERFACE conguration mode. See VLAN Membership for more
information.
Supported Modes
Standalone, PMUX, VLT, Stacking
NOTE: You can also perform some of the congurations using the Web GUI - Dell Blade IO Manager. For more
information, see the Dell Blade IO Manager Online Help.
Managing the MAC Address Table
On an Aggregator in VLT and PMUX modes, you can manage the MAC address table by:
• Clearing the MAC Address Entries
• Displaying the MAC Address Table
In the Standalone mode, use the show cam mac stack-unit 0 port-set 0 command to view the mac-addresses.
The Aggregator auto-congures with support for Network Interface Controller (NIC) Teaming.
Clearing the MAC Address Entries
Learned MAC addresses are entered in the table as dynamic entries, which means that they are subject to aging. For any dynamic
entry, if no packet arrives on the switch with the MAC address as the source or destination address within the timer period, the
address is removed from the table. The default aging time is 1800 seconds in PMUX mode and 300 seconds in Standalone and VLT
modes.
You can manually clear the MAC address table of dynamic entries.
To clear a MAC address table, use the following command:
1. Clear a MAC address table of dynamic entries. EXEC Privilege mode
clear mac-address-table dynamic {address | all | interfaces | vlan}
• address: deletes the specied entry.
• all: deletes all dynamic entries.
• interface: deletes all entries for the specied interface.
