Checking MAC Addresses
Checking MAC Addresses
In addition to displaying the MAC address range for a module using the show module command, you
can display the MAC address table information of a specific MAC address or a specific interface in the
switch using the show mac-address-table address and show mac-address-table interface commands.
This example shows how to display MAC address table information for a specific MAC address:
Switch# show mac-address-table address 0050.3e8d.6400
vlan mac address type protocol qos ports
-----+---------------+--------+---------+---+--------------------------------
200 0050.3e8d.6400 static assigned -- Switch
100 0050.3e8d.6400 static assigned -- Switch
5 0050.3e8d.6400 static assigned -- Switch
4 0050.3e8d.6400 static ipx -- Switch
1 0050.3e8d.6400 static ipx -- Switch
1 0050.3e8d.6400 static assigned -- Switch
4 0050.3e8d.6400 static assigned -- Switch
5 0050.3e8d.6400 static ipx -- Switch
100 0050.3e8d.6400 static ipx -- Switch
200 0050.3e8d.6400 static ipx -- Switch
100 0050.3e8d.6400 static other -- Switch
200 0050.3e8d.6400 static other -- Switch
5 0050.3e8d.6400 static other -- Switch
4 0050.3e8d.6400 static ip -- Switch
1 0050.3e8d.6400 static ip -- Route
1 0050.3e8d.6400 static other -- Switch
4 0050.3e8d.6400 static other -- Switch
5 0050.3e8d.6400 static ip -- Switch
200 0050.3e8d.6400 static ip -- Switch
100 0050.3e8d.6400 static ip -- Switch

Using Telnet
You can access the switch command-line interface (CLI) using Telnet. In addition, you can use Telnet
from the switch to access other devices in the network. You can have up to eight simultaneous Telnet
sessions.
Before you can open a Telnet session to the switch, you must first set the IP address (and in some cases
the default gateway) for the switch. For information about setting the IP address and default gateway,
see Chapter 3, “Configuring the Switch for the First Time.”
Note To establish a Telnet connection to a host by using the hostname, configure and enable DNS.
