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:
•

MAC Address Table

• Dynamic Address Configuration
• Static MAC Address
MAC Address Table
The MAC Address Table contains 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. Use the search function of the
MAC Address Table page to display information about the entries in the table.
To access this page, click Switching> Address Table > Basic > Address Table.
