TABLE 78 Output from the show mac vpls command
Field Description
Total VPLS mac entries in the table The number of MAC addresses that have been learned in the database.
Local The number of locally learned entries in the database.
Remote The number of remotely learned entries in the database.
VPLS The VC ID of the VPLS instance.
MAC Address The MAC address of the entry.
L/R Whether the entry was learned from local endpoints (L), or was learned
from a remote VPLS peer (R).
Port The port number for the entry.
Vlan:Inner-VLAN/Peer For Local entries, the VLAN ID for the port; for dual-tagged VLANs, the
outer VLAN ID followed by the inner VLAN ID; for Remote entries, the IP
address of the VPLS peer.
Age The age of the entry. The value on the MP is zero because the aging
occurs on line card processors.

Displaying VPLS information
3
NOTE
The information displayed in the SA-CAM and DA-CAM index fields is not relevant for day-to-day
management of the device. The information is used by engineering and technical support staff for
debugging purposes.
Displaying VPLS traffic statistics
The user can display VPLS traffic statistics, to view the forwarding counters for each VPLS
configured on the system. The output shows a given port range that receives traffic, how many
packets are sent out on local CE device endpoints, and how many are sent out of LSP tunnels to
remote PE devices. When the port is a 10G port, a single port is displayed. When the module is a
40x1G module, a range of 10 1G ports is displayed.
NOTE
When CPU protection is on, flooded traffic received from an endpoint is not accounted by the VPLS
statistics for endpoint-out packets even though they are locally switched.
