the port bridge functions on the interfaces connected to the servers so that the S7700
forwards data packets between the virtual machines.
Pre-configuration Tasks
None.
Data Preparation
None.
Background Information
By default, an interface does not forward frames whose source and destination MAC addresses
are both learned by this interface. When the interface receives such a frame, it discards the frame
as an invalid frame. After the port bridge function is enabled on the interface, the interface
forwards such a frame if the destination MAC address of the frame is in the MAC address table.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
port bridge enable
The port bridge function is enabled.
By default, the port bridge function is disabled on an interface.
----End
Checking the Configuration
Run the display current-configuration command to check whether the port bridge function is
enabled.
7.14 Configuration Examples
This section provides several examples for the configuration of the MAC address table.

Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 7-6, the MAC address of the user host PC1 is 0002-0002-0002 and the MAC
address of the user host PC2 is 0003-0003-0003. PC1 and PC2 are connected to the Switch
