VlanId

Specifies the VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4059. By default, VLAN IDs 1 to 4059 are configurable and the system reserves VLAN IDs 4060 to 4094 for internal use. On switches that support the vrf-scaling and spbm-config-mode boot configuration flags, if you enable these flags, the system also reserves VLAN IDs 3500 to 3998. VLAN ID 1 is the default VLAN and you cannot create or delete VLAN ID 1.

Address

Specifies a unicast MAC address for which the bridge has forwarding or filtering information.

Status

Specifies the status. Values include the following:

  • self—one of the bridge addresses

  • learned—a learned entry that is being used

  • mgmt—a static entry

Port

Specifies either a value of zero (0) or the port number of the port on which a frame having the specified MAC address was seen. A value of cpp indicates a self-assigned MAC address.
