find	- Show	a single FDB entry by MAC address
port	- Show	FDB entries on a single port
vlan	- Show	FDB entries on a single VLAN
state	- Show	FDB entries by state
dump	- Show	all FDB entries

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 16K MAC address entries on the management processor (MP) per GbE2 Interconnect Switch.

Table 19 FDB information menu /info/l2/fdb

Command	Usage
find <MAC address> [<VLAN>]	Displays a single database entry by its MAC address. You are prompted
	to enter the MAC address of the device.
	Enter the MAC address using the format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. (For
	example: 08:00:20:12:34:56)
	You can also enter the MAC address using the format: xxxxxxxxxxxx.
	(For example: 080020123456)
port <port number>	Displays all FDB entries for a particular port.
vlan <1-4095>	Displays all FDB entries on a single VLAN.
state unknownignore	Displays all FDB entries that match a particular state.

An address that is in the forwarding (FWD) state indicates that the GbE2 Interconnect Switch has learned it. When in the trunking (TRK) state, the port field represents the trunk group number. If the state for the port is listed as unknown
