After you have set up the router for bridging, you can monitor and verify its operation
by performing the following commands.
Use the following command to view the bridged interfaces.
COMMAND

Use the following command to lists the contents of the bridge table. Each MAC address
in the table is listed with its corresponding bridge port as learned by the bridge function.
COMMAND

As to forward bridged packets to the right network destination, the NBG440 router uses
a bridge table that associates end nodes with particular connections. It builds this table
dynamically, in a process called transparent bridging.

COMMAND
(conf)# show interface [-v|-c] [<ifname>]
Parameters
-v option provides various visual statistics regarding the interface.
-c option initializes the statistics.
<ifname> - interface name
Note:
If you omit the interface name, all interfaces are listed.

(conf)# sh int lan
(conf)# sh int s0
