CLI: Viewing the Port and VLAN MAC Addresses

The MAC address assigned to each switch port is used internally by such
features as Flow Control and the Spanning Tree Protocol. Determining the
MAC address assignments for individual ports can sometimes be useful when
diagnosing switch operation. To display these addresses, use the

walkmib

command at the command prompt:

N o t e

This procedure displays the MAC addresses for all ports and existing VLANs
in the switch, regardless of which VLAN you select.

1.

If the switch is at the CLI Operator level, use the

enable command to enter

the Manager level of the CLI.

2.

Type the following command to display the MAC address for each port on
the switch:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100# walkmib ifPhysAddress

(The above command is not case-sensitive.)

The following figure is an example of the display:
