Validation

Sending untagged, VLAN-5 and VLAN-6 traffic from IXIA-1 to IXIA-2. In the show bridge o/p we can see all the MAC entries learnt for all the traffics.

In the show vlan brief output for default VLAN interface xe21 is having port type as untagged (u).

SW1#show bridge

bridge 1 is running on mstp

Ageout time is global and if something is configured for vxlan then it will be a
