Hello, Mr. Cisco gurus!

I know that switches by default if it does not know about the host mac address it will broadcast by default to all port except the one it originated from!

Is there any debugging commands to see all this from happening?
Any debugging commands to see the mac address learning?

Thank you!

    "sh mac-add" will show you what has already been learned and added to the mac address table. You could use wireshark to see the broadcast going out to whatever port the sniffer/PC was plugged into. Not sure of anything else.
