Forwarding tab items


Item Description
Status
Values include:
  • self--one of the bridge's addresses
  • learned--a learned entry that is being used
  • mgmt--a static entry
MacAddress
A unicast MAC address for which the bridge has forwarding and/or filtering information.
Port
Either a value of zero (0) or the port number of the port on which a frame having the specified MAC address has been seen. A value of 0 indicates a self-assigned MAC address.
Monitor
Select true or false to copy packets with MAC address in source or destination field. Used with port mirroring.
Priority
Priority level. If true, frames in the VLAN are forwarded through the switch fabric with high priority.
If false, frames in the VLAN are forwarded through the switch fabric with normal priority.


Note Note: For troubleshooting, it is sometimes necessary to manually flush the bridge forwarding database of learned MAC addresses. You can flush the forwarding database in two contexts:
  • By Port--Delete all MAC addresses associated with a port for all VLANs under Edit Port > Interface > Action > FlushMacFdb.
  • By VLAN--Delete all MAC addresses associated with the VLAN under VLAN > VLANs > Advanced > Action > FlushMacFdb.
