display mac-address vxlan { static | dynamic }

Function

The display mac-address vxlan { static | dynamic } command displays VXLAN MAC address static or dynamic entries.

Format

display mac-address vxlan { static | dynamic } [ vni vni-id ] [ peer ip-address ]

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
static	Indicates static entries, which are not aged. After static entries are configured and saved, the entries will not be lost after the system resets or the LPU is hot swapped.	-
dynamic	Indicates dynamic MAC address entries, which are learned based on source MAC addresses. Dynamic MAC address entries can be aged based on a specified aging time. Such entries will be lost after the system is reset or the LPU is hot swapped.	-
vni vni-id	Specifies a VNI.	The specified VNI must already exist.
peer ip-address	Specifies the IP address of the peer VTEP.	-

Usage Guidelines

Application Scenarios

The MAC address table is a port-based Layer-2 forwarding table that stores MAC address information learned from other devices. The information includes the MAC address, VNI of the port, and IP address of the peer VTEP. When forwarding a packet, the device searches the MAC address table based on the destination MAC address in the packet to identify the outbound interface, reducing broadcast packets.

MAC address entries are classified as follows:

Static MAC address entries: manually configured and not aged.
Dynamic MAC address entries: configured and learned based on source MAC addresses. Dynamic MAC address entries can be aged based on a specified aging time.

Precautions

If the device has many MAC address entries, you can run this command by specifying a VNI to filter information. If no VNI is specified, the following problems may occur due to excessive output information:

The displayed information is continuously refreshed, and locating wanted information is difficult.
The system fails to respond to other requests because it is busy searching information.

**Table 1** Description of the **display mac-address vxlan** command output
Item	Description
MAC Address	MAC address.
VNI ID	VNI to which the outbound interface belongs.
Left Time(s)	Remaining aging time, in seconds. If the value is -, the entry is static and does not have the aging time.
Type	Type of the MAC address. static: static MAC address entries. Static entries are manually configured and will not be aged. Such entries are not lost after the system is reset or the LPU is hot swapped. dynamic: dynamic MAC address entries, which are configured and learned based on source MAC addresses. Dynamic MAC address entries can be aged based on a specified aging time. Such entries will be lost after the system is reset or the LPU is hot swapped.
