Operands
aging-time seconds
Specifies the time in seconds that a learned MAC address will persist after
the last update. If the aging time is set to zero (0), it means that aging is
disabled. For standalone mode, valid values range from 10
through 100000. For Brocade VCS Fabric mode, valid values range from 60
through 100000.
static mac-addr

slot
Specifies a valid slot number.
port
Specifies a valid port number.
gigabitethernet rbridge-id/slot/port
Specifies a valid 1-gigabit Ethernet interface.
rbridge-id
Specifies the RBridge ID. This is not valid in standalone mode.
slot
Specifies a valid slot number.
port
Specifies a valid port number.
vlan vlan_id
Specifies the VLAN number. Refer to the Usage Guidelines.

Description
Use this command to set the aging time or to add static addresses to the MAC address table.
Usage Guidelines
The vlan keyword is mandatory because the switch only supports independent VLAN learning (IVL).
On the Brocade VDX family of switches, VLANs are treated as interfaces from a configuration point
of view. By default, all the DCB ports are assigned to VLAN 1 (VLAN ID equals 1). Valid VLAN IDs
are as follows:
