Forwarding tab

The Forwarding tab displays the current state of the port, as defined by application
of the Spanning Tree Protocol. This state controls what action a port takes on
reception of a frame. If the bridge detects a port that is malfunctioning, it places
the port into the "broken" state. For ports that are disabled, the value is "disabled."

Description
Number of Forwarding Database entries learned that have been
discarded due to a lack of space in the Forwarding Database. If
this counter is increasing, it indicates that the Forwarding
Database is becoming full regularly. This condition will effect the
performance of the subnetwork. If the counter has a significant
value and is not presently increasing, it indicates that the problem
has been occurring but is not persistent.
Time-out period in seconds for aging out dynamically learned
forwarding information.
Note: The 802.1D-1990 specification recommends a default of
300 seconds.
