Descriptions
Mac Address—A unicast MAC address for which the switch has forwarding and or filtering information. 
The format is 6 or 8 two-digit hexadecimal numbers that are separated by colons, for example 
01:23:45:67:89:AB. In an IVL system, the MAC address is displayed as 8 bytes.
Interface—The Unit/Slot/Port at which this address was learned. 
If Index—This object indicates the IfIndex of the interface table entry associated with this port.
In the S2410, If Index values are: 
Status—The status of this entry. The meanings of the values are:
macaddr
(OPTIONAL) Enter a 6 byte Mac address.
all (OPTIONAL) Enter all to get results for all interfaces.
interface unit/slot/port 
(OPTIONAL) To show MAC addresses on a particular interface, enter 
the keyword
 interface followed by the interface unit, slot, and port. 
This can be a physical or logical interface.
vlan VLAN_ID
(OPTIONAL) To show MAC addresses on a particular interface, enter 
the keyword 
vlan followed by the VLAN_ID.
count

Note: IVL (Independent VLAN Learning) allows unicast address-to-port mappings to 
be created based on a MAC address in conjunction with a VLAN ID. In an IVL system, 
the MAC address is displayed as 8 bytes.
Note: The “3/1” in the Interface column references the Ethernet Management port. 
See Figure 13 and Figure 15.
