Hi Kris,

Thanks for your time. I understand that bridge mac is changing for each STP
instance.
Going back to original question, in which table or place Cat is storing
these MACs ,
 any instruction to see or "predict" all Bridge MACs before initializing the
STP instance
itself??

> a show cam will show you all mac addresses or the internal arp addresses

If you do show cam system, show cam static, show cam permanent, I can't see
the STP Bridge MAC listed there.

What is Internal ARP Address? I have a pure L2 Switch.

Thanks
Khurram.
