Table 79 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• invalid: Entry is no longer valid, but has not been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).
