Cisco 9000v – listing the mac address table

When you run the ‘show mac address-table dynamic’ command the Nexus is not showing anything. The command to run is: ‘show system internal l2fwder mac’ to list the mac entries.

If you want to clear the mac entries, use the command: ‘clear mac address-table datapath dynamic’.
