Table 45 Forwarding tab fields
Field Description
Status The values of this fields include:
• invalid: Entry is no longer valid, but has not been removed from the table.
• learned: Value of the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbPort was
learned and is being used.
• self: Value of the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbAddress
represents an address of the bridge. The corresponding instance of
dot1dTpFdbPort indicates that a specific port on the bridge has this
address.
• mgmt(5): Value of the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbAddress is
also the value of an existing instance of dot1dStaticAddress.
• other: none of the preceding. This would include where some other MIB
object (not the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbPort or an entry in
the dot1dStaticTable) is being used to determine if a frames addressed to
the value of dot1dTpFdbAddress are being forwarded.
Address A unicast MAC address for which the bridge has forwarding or filtering
information.
Port Either the value “0” or the port number on a frame has been seen. The
source address must be equal to the value of the corresponding instance of
dot1dTpFdbAddress
A value of “0” indicates that the port number has not been learned, so the
bridge does have the forwarding/filtering information for this address (located
in the dot1dStaticTable). You should assign the port value to this object
whenever it is learned even for addresses for which the corresponding value
of dot1dTpFdbStatus is not learned(3).
