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
FTOS assigns an interface number to each (configured or unconfigured) physical and logical interface.
The interface index is a binary number with bits that indicate the slot number, port number, interface type, and card type 
of the interface. FTOS converts this binary index number to decimal, and displays it in the output of the show 
interface
 command.
Starting from the least significant bit (LSB):
• the first 14 bits represent the card type
• the next 4 bits represent the interface type
• the next 7 bits represent the port number
• the next 5 bits represent the slot number
• the next 1 bit is 0 for a physical interface and 1 for a logical interface
• the next 1 bit is unused
For example, the index 72925242 is 100010110001100000000111010 in binary. The binary interface index for 
GigabitEthernet 1/21 of a 48-port 10/100/1000Base-T line card with RJ-45 interface. Notice that the physical/logical bit 
and the final, unused bit are not given. The interface is physical, so represent this type of interface by a 0 bit, and the 
unused bit is always 0. These 2 bits are not given because they are the most significant bits, and leading zeros are often 
omitted.
NOTE: The interface index does not change if the interface reloads or fails over. If the unit is renumbered (for any 
reason) the interface index changes during a reload.
To display the interface number, use the following command.
