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Status	The values of this field include: invalid: Entry is no longer valid, but has not been removed from the table.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.
