received.
Default VLAN
The VLAN to which all ports are assigned upon initialization. The
Default VLAN has a VLAN ID of 1.
Forwarding List
A list of the ports on a particular device that are eligible to transmit
frames for a selected VLAN. The Forwarding List identifies what ports
are associated with a single VLAN for frame transmission purposes.

specific port and the frame format of transmissions for that port.The
Egress List specifies what VLANs are associated with a single port for
frame transmission purposes.

between MAC addresses, VLAN eligibilities, and interface (port)
numbers. The Filtering Database is referred to when a VLAN aware
switch makes a forwarding decision on a frame.
