Forwarding database
The first option on this menu is the Configuration panel, which allows you to configure the
forwarding database aging interval. The second option is the Search panel, which displays the
forwarding database entries specified by a MAC address or filter you enter.
Configuration
Use this panel to configure the forwarding database aging interval.
Aging Interval (secs)
The forwarding database contains static entries, which are never aged out, and
dynamically learned entries, which are removed if they are not updated within a
given time. You specify that time by entering a value for the Aging Interval. Enter
any number of seconds between 10 and 1000000. IEEE 802.1D recommends a
default of 300 seconds, which is the factory default.
Click the Apply button to cause the changes made on this screen to take effect on the switch. If you
want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle, you must perform a save.
Search
This panel displays the forwarding database entries. You can specify a filter to determine which
addresses are displayed or a MAC address to display the table entry for the requested MAC address
(and all entries following the requested MAC address).
