5. Click APPLY to send the updated configuration to the switch.
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.
From the Address Table link, you can access features described in the following sections:
Address Table
Dynamic Address Configuration
Address Table
The Address Table contains information about unicast entries for which the switch has
forwarding or filtering information. The transparent bridging function uses this information in
determining how to propagate a received frame. Use the search function of the Address
Table screen to display information about the entries in the table.
