[Forwarding Database Menu]
The forwarding database (FDB) contains information that maps the media access control (MAC) address
of each known device to the switch port where the device address was learned. The FDB also shows

NOTE:
The master forwarding database supports up to 8K MAC address entries on the
management processor (MP) per switch.
