The aging time defines the length of time an entry remains in the a bridge’s forwarding table
before being deleted due to inactivity. If an entry replenishments a destination generating
continuous traffic, this timeout value will never be invoked. However, if the destination
becomes idle, the timeout value represents the length of time that must be exceeded before
an entry is deleted from the forwarding table. The default setting is 300 seconds.

5. Define a L3e Lite Entry Aging Time between 10-1,000,000 seconds.

address and decides to forward the packet or drop (filter) it. If it’s determined the destination
MAC is on a different network, it forwards the packet to the segment. If the destination MAC is
on the same network segment, the packet is dropped (filtered)

8. Define the target VLAN ID if the destination MAC is on a different network segment.

9. Provide an Interface Name used as the target destination interface for the target MAC address.
