Configuring the MAC address table
Each DCB port has a MAC address table. The MAC address table stores a number of unicast and
multicast address entries without flooding any frames. Brocade VDX hardware has a configurable
aging timer. If a MAC address remains inactive for a specified number of seconds, it is removed
from the address table.
Specifying or disabling the aging time for MAC addresses
You can set the length of time that a dynamic entry remains in the MAC address table after the
entry is used or updated. Static address entries are never aged or removed from the table. You can
also disable the aging time. The default is 300 seconds.
NOTE
To disable the aging time for MAC addresses, specify an aging time value of 0.
To specify an aging time or disable the aging time for MAC addresses, issue an RPC to
configure the node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-mac-address-table namespace, and specify the aging time in the
element.
The following example sets the aging time to 600 seconds.
