This switch has a single forwarding database.
This switch has multiple forwarding databases.

Now, the 8000M forwarding database always lists the
To increase the network bandwidth of the connection between the devices, you can use a trunk of multiple physical links rather than a single physical link.
If you want to connect a switch covered by this guide to another switch that has a
■A separate port or port trunk interface for each VLAN. This results in a forwarding database having multiple instances of the same MAC address with different VLAN IDs and port numbers. (See table
■The same port or port trunk interface for multiple (tagged) VLANs. This results in a forwarding database having multiple instances of the same MAC address with different VLAN IDs, but the same port number.
Allowing multiple entries of the same MAC address on different VLANs enables topologies such as the following:
