Bridge Interface Commands
clear interfaces bridge counters
Clears bridge interface statistics.
Statistics are cleared on all bridge interfaces.
- if-name
- The identifier for the interface whose bridging counters you wish to clear. This can be any interface on which bridging is supported.
Operational mode
Use this command to clear statistics on bridge interfaces.
If no interface is specified, then bridge statistics are cleared on all interfaces.
interfaces dataplane <interface-name> bridge-group
Adds a data plane interface to a bridge group.
- interface-name
- The name of a data plane interface. For more information about the supported name formats of a data plane interface, refer to Supported Interface Types.
- admin-edge
- Sets the initial-edge state, specifying that the port connects to an end node instead of another spanning tree bridge. The default is off.
- auto-edge
- Allows the bridge to automatically determine the edge-port status. The default is off.
- bpdu-guard
-
Enables the spanning tree BPDU guard. The BPDU guard is used at the network edge, where the port connects directly to an end node. The default is off.
- bridge brx
- The bridge group ID.
- cost cost
- The path cost for the interface within its bridge group. The spanning tree protocol (STP) uses this value to calculate the shortest path from this bridge group to the spanning tree root. The value can be a numerical value that ranges from 1 through 200000000 or the auto keyword. The default is auto. If you use the auto keyword, the vRouter determines the port cost from the line speed.
- network-port
- Enables Spanning Tree uni-directional link detection.
- point-to-point status
- Sets the point-to-point operational status to one of the following values:
- auto: Determines the point-to-point operational status from the duplex setting.
- off: Disable the point-to-point operational status.
- on: Enable the point-to-point operational status.
- priority
- The path priority for the interface within its bridge group. The range is 0 to 63. The default is 0.
- restrict-tcn
- Restricts propagation of topology change notifications for the spanning tree.
- root-block
- Restricts the ability of ports to assume the spanning tree root role.

Use this command to add a data plane interface to a bridge group, and to set the cost and priority values for the bridge on the interface.
Use the set form of this command to add the interface to the bridge group, or to specify cost or priority.
Use the delete form of this command to remove the interface from the bridge group, or to restore default values for cost and priority.
Use the show form of this command to view interface configuration for bridging.
interfaces dataplane <interface> vif <vif-id> bridge-group
Adds a data plane vif to a bridge group.
- interface
- The name of a data plane interface. For more information about the supported name formats of a data plane interface, refer to Supported Interface Types.
- vif-id
- A virtual interface ID. The ID ranges from 1 through 4094.
- admin-edge
- Enables the Spanning Tree admin edge mode.
- auto-edge
- Enables Spanning Tree automatic admin edge detection.
- bpdu-guard
-
Enables Spanning Tree Protocol PortFast Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) guard.
- bridge brx
- The bridge group ID.
- cost
- The path cost for the interface within its bridge group. The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) uses this value to calculate the shortest path from this bridge group to the spanning tree root. The range is 1 to 200000000. The default is 19.
- network-port
- Enables Spanning Tree uni-directional link detection.
- point-to-point status
- Sets the point-to-point operational status to one of the following values:
- auto: Determines the point-to-point operational status from the duplex setting.
- off: Disable the point-to-point operational status.
- on: Enable the point-to-point operational status.
- priority
- The path priority for the interface within its bridge group. The range is 0 to 15. The default is 8.
- restrict-tcn
- Restricts propagation of topology change notifications for Spanning Tree.
- root-block
- Restricts the ability of ports to assume the Spanning Tree root role.

Use this command to add a data plane vif to a bridge group, and to set the supported values for the bridge on the interface.
Use the set form of this command to add a data plane vif to a bridge group, or to set the supported values for the bridge on the interface.
Use the delete form of this command to remove the interface from the bridge group, or to restore default values.
Use the show form of this command to view interface configuration for bridging.
monitor interfaces bridge <brx>
Monitors traffic to the vRouter.
- brx
-
Bridge group ID.
Operational mode
monitor interfaces bridgeUse this command to monitor traffic to the vRouter and traffic forwarding.
show interfaces bridge
Shows bridge interface information.
- bridge-group
- Displays information for the specified bridge group: one of br0 through br999.
- brief
- Shows a summary of information for a given bridge group.
- detail
- Shows detailed bridge interface information.
Operational mode
Use this command to display information about configured bridge interfaces.
When used with no option, this command displays information about all active bridge interfaces. When the identifier of a bridge group is provided, this command displays information for the specified bridge group.
