IBR automatically records the MAC address of a received packet, the port on which it was received, and
whether the packet has a VLAN designation. When an incoming packet arrives at IBR, the correct port and
whether the packet has a VLAN designation. When an incoming packet arrives at IBR, the correct port and
VLAN for delivery of the packet is determined by comparing the MAC address of the packet with the
corresponding entry in L2. If the MAC address is not in the L2 table, IBR will send the packet out to all ports
except the one on which it was received, and then record the port and VLAN of the device that responds to the
corresponding entry in L2. If the MAC address is not in the L2 table, IBR will send the packet out to all ports
except the one on which it was received, and then record the port and VLAN of the device that responds to the
packet.
When a MAC address in the L2 table has not been used within a preset time (the “aging time”), the MAC
address entry is automatically deleted from the table. The default aging time is three hundred (300) seconds.
Aging time is the only property of the L2 table functionality that can be changed. The L2 table can contain up
address entry is automatically deleted from the table. The default aging time is three hundred (300) seconds.
Aging time is the only property of the L2 table functionality that can be changed. The L2 table can contain up
to sixty-four thousand entries so that, with a reasonable aging time, there is little chance of an overflow

Using the CLI “show” command, an operator can display the contents of the L2 table.
5.2 Counters
Counters are implemented as two-dimensional arrays that associate traffic metrics with the corresponding
IBR ports (interfaces). Counters are activated by default and cannot be disabled; however, the contents of
IBR ports (interfaces). Counters are activated by default and cannot be disabled; however, the contents of
counters can be reset to zero or displayed by operator command. The counters in IBR are listed below
organized the way they would be displayed using the show command.
