Forwarding Database
Profile Network Configuration
A Forwarding Database is used by a bridge to forward or filter packets. The bridge reads the
packet’s destination MAC address and decides to either forward the packet or drop (filter) it. If it is
determined the destination MAC is on a different network segment, it forwards the packet to the
segment. If the destination MAC is on the same network segment, the packet is dropped (filtered).
As nodes transmit packets through the bridge, the bridge updates its forwarding database with
known MAC addresses and their locations on the network. This information is then used to filter or
forward the packet.
To define a forwarding database configuration:
1. Select Configuration > Profiles > Network.
2. Expand the Network menu to display its submenu options.
3. Select Forwarding Database.
