Table 45 describes the Forwarding tab fields.

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	• invalid: Entry is no longer valid, but has not been removed from the table.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).
