Configuring the MAC address table

Activating a VLAN classifier group with an interface port
To associate a VLAN classifier group with an interface port, perform the following steps from
Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.
switch(config)#interface intengigabitethernet 0/10
3. Enter the no shutdown command to enable the CEE interface.
4. Enter the vlan classifier command to activate and associate it with a VLAN interface (group 1
and VLAN 2 are used in this example).
switch(conf-if-te-0/10)#vlan classifier activate group 1 vlan 2
NOTE
This example assumes that VLAN 2 was already created.
Clearing VLAN counter statistics
To clear VLAN counter statistics, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the clear command to clear the VLAN counter statistics for the specified VLAN. The VLAN
ID value can be 1 through 3583. For example, to clear the counter for VLAN 20:
switch#clear counter interface vlan 20
Displaying VLAN information
To display VLAN information, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the show interface command to display the configuration and status of the specified
interface.
switch#show interface intengigabitethernet 0/10 port-channel 10 switchport
2. Enter the show vlan command to display the specified VLAN information. For example, this
syntax displays the status of VLAN 20 for all interfaces, including static and dynamic:
switch#show vlan 20 brief
Configuring the MAC address table
Each CEE port has a MAC address table. The MAC address table stores a number of unicast and
multicast address entries without flooding any frames. Dell FCoE hardware has a configurable
aging timer. If a MAC address remains inactive for a specified number of seconds, it is removed
from the address table. For detailed information on how the switch handles MAC addresses in a
Layer 2 Ethernet environment, see “Layer 2 Ethernet overview” on page 3.
