Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to help you understand the bridge port status display.

Variable Value
Id

Specifies the VLAN identifier.

Address Indicates the unicast MAC address for which the bridge has forwarding or filtering information.
Port

Indicates the port number. The source address must be equal to the value of the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbAddress

A value of 0 indicates that the port number has not been learned, so the bridge does have the forwarding or filtering information for this address (in the dot1dStaticTable). You must assign the port value to this object whenever it is learned even for addresses for which the corresponding value of dot1dTpFdbStatus is not learned.

Status

Indicates the values for this field include:

  • invalid: Entry is no longer valid, but has not been removed from the table.
  • learned: Value of the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbPort was learned and is being used.
  • self: Value of the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbAddress represents an address of the bridge. The corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbPort indicates that a specific port on the bridge has this address.
  • mgmt(5): Value of the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbAddress is also the value of an existing instance of dot1dStaticAddress.
  • other: None of the preceding. This includes instances where another MIB object (not the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbPort or an entry in the dot1dStaticTable) is used to determine if frames addressed to the value of dot1dTpFdbAddress are being forwarded.
