The Receive Port column corresponds to the Dot1dStaticReceivePort MIB object of the
dot1dStatic group. This read-write object identifies the port number from which a
frame must be received in order for this filtering entry to be valid. A value of "0"
indicates that this entry applies to all ports on the bridge for which there is no other
applicable entry.
The Address column corresponds to the Dot1dStaticAddress MIB object of the
dot1dStatic group. This read-write object specifies the destination MAC address of a
frame to which this filtering entry applies. Address can be unicast, group, or broadcast.
The Forwarding Port column corresponds to the Dot1dStaticAllowed-ToGoTo MIB
object of the dot1dStatic group. This read-write object selects the ports to which frames
received from a specific port will be forwarded.
The Status column corresponds to the Dot1dStaticStatus MIB object of the dot1dStatic
group. This read-write object indicates the status of this entry. It can assume one of the
following values: deleteOnTime-out, deleteOnReset, permanent, invalid, or other. The
first option means that this entry is currently in use and will remain so until it is aged
out; deleteOnReset means that this entry is currently in use and will remain so until
the bridge is restarted; permanent indicates that the entry is currently in use and will
remain so even after resetting the bridge; invalid deletes the respective entry from the
table; other means that the entry is currently in use but the conditions under which it
will remain so are different from the above.
