This might seem silly but I can't find the MAC address table in my Cisco ASR1001. Look:

#sh mac?
macdb  

#sh macdb

                      Software MAC database

It must be another command, but I can't find it. Google didn't help.

    More information would be helpful to give you the answer applying to your situation. What features are you using on the router and what mac-addresses are you expecting to see?

  • I am interested to know about #show macdb as well. This command is not publicly documented.

It's a router not a switch, so no MAC table is needed.

Instead, the ARP table--show ip arp--may be what you want.

    Unsure why this is downvoted, since this is exactly the correct answer unless you are using bridge-domains/L2 transport as in Mike's answer.

Use show bridge-domain [bridge-domain-number]...

RTI-MPLS-SAB-01#show bridge-domain 4010
Bridge-domain 4010 (3 ports in all)
State: UP                    Mac learning: Enabled
Aging-Timer: 300 second(s)
    BDI4010  (up)
    GigabitEthernet0/0/4 service instance 4010
    vfi OCTEY neighbor 10.23.32.79 11
   AED MAC address    Policy  Tag       Age  Pseudoport

If they are secured... show bridge-domain [bridge-domain-number] mac security address...

Router# show bridge-domain 730 mac security address

Gi1/0/0 ServInst 2    0002.0002.bbbb    dynamic   -
