# Viewing forwarding bridge information

Use this procedure to display information about bridge forwarding status.

## Procedure steps

2. From the Edit tree, click Bridge.

3. Select the Forwarding tab.

4. To select specific bridge port status information display criteria, click Filter.

5. Select filtering criteria.

The following table outlines the parameters for the Forwarding tab.

Table 1. Variable definitions
Variable | Value
--- | ---
Id | Specifies the VLAN identifier.
Address | Specifies the unicast MAC address for which the bridge has forwarding or filtering information.
Port | Indicates the port number. The source address mut 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/filtering information for this address (located 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Status | The values of this field include: invalid: Entry is no longer valid, but has not been removed from the table.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 some other MIB object (not the corresponding instance of dot1dTpFdbPort or an entry in the dot1dStaticTable) is being used to determine if a frames addressed to the value of dot1dTpFdbAddress are being forwarded.
