Forwarding Database Maintenance
[FDB Manipulation Menu]
The Forwarding Database Manipulation Menu can be used to view information and to delete a
MAC address from the forwarding database or clear the entire forwarding database. This is
helpful in identifying problems associated with MAC address learning and packet forwarding
decisions.
