Searching and Configuring the Forwarding Database

The forwarding database maintains a list of MAC addresses after having received a packet from
this MAC address. The transparent bridging function uses the forwarding database entries to
determine how to forward a received frame.
The Address Table folder contains links to the following features:
• "Searching the MAC Address Table" on page 3-47
• "Dynamic Address Configuration" on page 3-49
• "MAC Address Table" on page 3-50
• "Static MAC Address" on page 3-52

Searching the MAC Address Table

Use the search function of the MAC Address Table page to display information about unicast
entries for which the switch has forwarding and/or filtering information. This information is used
by the transparent bridging function in determining how to propagate a received frame.
