[Forwarding Database Menu]
The forwarding database (FDB) contains information that maps the media access control (MAC)
address of each known device to the switch port where the device address was learned. The FDB also
shows which other ports have seen frames destined for a particular MAC address.
NOTE: The master forwarding database supports up to 8K MAC address entries on the
management processor (MP) per switch.
