The forwarding database (FDB) contains information that maps the media access control
(MAC) address of each known device to the GbE2 Interconnect Switch port where the device
address was learned. The FDB also shows which other ports have seen frames destined for a
particular MAC address.
NOTE:
The master forwarding database supports up to 2K MAC address entries on the management
processor (MP) per GbE2 Interconnect Switch.
