Switch L2 Forwarding

1. Controlling the Forwarding state of the port.

The port forwarding state is by default enabled and frames are forwarded to and from the port depending on the VLAN configuration.
Forwarding can be disabled on a port without affecting the link status.

Lets get the forwarding state to confirm that forwarding is enabled.

The interface (port) name is '1'

FETCH request message.

- "/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface[name='1']/\
   ieee802-dot1q-bridge:bridge-port/\
   mchp-velocitysp-bridge:forwarding-disable"

FETCH response message.

- ? "/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface/ieee802-dot1q-bridge:bridge-port/\
     mchp-velocitysp-bridge:forwarding-disable"
  : false

Now disable forwarding:

IPATCH request message.

- ? "/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface[name='1']/\
     ieee802-dot1q-bridge:bridge-port/\
     mchp-velocitysp-bridge:forwarding-disable"
  : true

Confirm that the forwarding state is disabled:

- "/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface[name='1']/\
   ieee802-dot1q-bridge:bridge-port/\
   mchp-velocitysp-bridge:forwarding-disable"

FETCH response message.

- ? "/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface/ieee802-dot1q-bridge:bridge-port/\
