Reference Guide

For example, the decimal equivalent of E8 is 232, and so the instance number for MAC address 00:01:e8:06:95:ac
is.0.1.232.6.149.172.
The value of dot1dTpFdbPort is the port number of the port off which the system learns the MAC address. In this case, of
TenGigabitEthernet 1/21, the manager returns the integer 118.
Example of Fetching MAC Addresses Learned on the Default VLAN Using SNMP
----------------MAC Addresses on Force10 System------------------
R1_E600#show mac-address-table
VlanId Mac Address Type Interface State
1 00:01:e8:06:95:ac Dynamic Te 1/21 Active
----------------Query from Management Station----------------------
>snmpwalk -v 2c -c techpubs 10.11.131.162 .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.17.4.3.1.1.0.1.232.6.149.172 = Hex-STRING: 00 01 E8 06 95 AC
In the following example, TenGigabitEthernet 1/21 is moved to VLAN 1000, a non-default VLAN. To fetch the MAC addresses
learned on non-default VLANs, use the object dot1qTpFdbTable. The instance number is the VLAN number concatenated with
the decimal conversion of the MAC address.

Use dot3aCurAggFdbTable to fetch the learned MAC address of a port-channel. The instance number is the decimal conversion
of the MAC address concatenated with the port-channel number.

Deriving Interface Indices
The Dell Networking OS assigns an interface index to each (configured and unconfigured) physical or logical interface, and
displays it in the output of the show interface command.
Dell#show interface fortyGigE 0/4
fortyGigE 0/4 is down, line protocol is down
Description: if_0/4 | if_forty
Hardware is DellForce10Eth, address is 74:86:7a:ff:6f:08
Current address is 74:86:7a:ff:6f:08
Pluggable media not present
Interface index is 51528196
[output omitted]
The interface index is a binary number with bits that indicate the slot number, port number, interface type, and card type of the
interface. The system converts this binary index number to decimal, and displays it in the show command output.
