Using the show platform forward Command
Using the show platform forward Command
The output from the show platform forward privileged EXEC command provides some useful
information about the forwarding results if a packet entering an interface is sent through the system.
Depending upon the parameters entered about the packet, the output provides lookup table results and
port maps used to calculate forwarding destinations, bitmaps, and egress information.
Note For more syntax and usage information for the show platform forward command, see the switch
command reference for this release.
Most of the information in the output from the command is useful mainly for technical support
personnel, who have access to detailed information about the switch application-specific integrated
circuits (ASICs). However, packet forwarding information can also be helpful in troubleshooting.
This is an example of the output from the show platform forward command on port 1 in VLAN 5 when
the packet entering that port is addressed to unknown MAC addresses. The packet should be flooded to
all other ports in VLAN 5.
