Junos Enterprise Switching

Question: What is the state of the three interfaces

participating in the recently defined interface
range?

Answer: As shown in the sample capture, all three

interfaces (ge-0/0/6, ge-0/0/7, and ge-0/0/8)
should show up both physically and
administratively.

Part 3: Monitoring Layer 2 Switching Operations

In this lab part, you will view the Ethernet switching table (bridge table) before and
after traffic passes through your designated switch. You will then define some static
MAC entries in the Ethernet switching table for the MAC addresses associated with
the connected devices. You will need to log in to your designated SRX Series
Services device to perform some tasks outlined in this part.
Step 3.1
Issue the show ethernet-switching table command to view the current
entries in your switch's bridge table.
{master:O}
lab@exD-1> show ethernet-switching table
Ethernet-switching table: 1 entries, 0 learned
VLAN MAC address Type Age Interfaces
default * Flood - All-members

Question: Does your switch's bridge table show any

dynamically learned MAC table entries?

Answer: As shown in the sample capture, the only

entry that should currently exist at this time is the
Flood entry associated with the default VLAN. If you
do see dynamically learned MAC entries, you can
manually clear them using the clear
ethernet-switching table command.
