into four columns as listed below. Except for the Index column, all columns in this
table can be resized by dragging their respective right borders with the mouse left
button. The following describes each column:
The
Index column displays the corresponding index number of each entry.
The Port column corresponds to the Dot1dTpFdbPort MIB object of the dot1dTp group.
This read-only object displays the port number on which a frame with source address
equal to the value displayed in the Address column was received. A value of “0”
indicates that the port number has not been learned but the bridge does have some
forwarding/filtering information about this address (for example, in the static table).
The
Address column corresponds to the Dot1dTpFdbAddress MIB object of the dot1dTp
group. This read-only object displays the unicast MAC address for which the bridge has
forwarding and/or filtering information.
The
Status column corresponds to the Dot1dTpFdb MIB object of the dot1dTp group.
This read-only object displays the entry status that can be mgmt, self, learned, invalid,
or other. Mgmt means that the address is included in the static table; self indicates
that the address represents one of the bridge addresses; learned indicates that the
address was auto-learned (dynamic) by the system, and is being used; invalid means
that the address is no longer valid; other means that the status is none of the above.
