Figure 49. Dynamic MAC Addresses Associated with a MAC Address
Changing the
Aging Time
The switch uses the aging time to delete inactive dynamic MAC addresses
from the MAC address table. When the switch detects that no packets
have been sent to or received from a particular MAC address in the table
after the period specified by the aging time, the switch deletes the
address. This prevents the table from becoming full of addresses of nodes
that are no longer active.
The default setting for the aging time is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
To adjust the aging time, perform the following procedure:
1. From the main menu, select Bridge > Dynamic Addresses.
The Dynamic Addresses page is shown in Figure 46.
2. In the Age Setting section, for the Aging Time, enter a new value in
seconds.
The range is 15 to 3825 seconds in multiples of 15. The default is 300
seconds (5 minutes).
3. Do one of the following:
ˆ Click OK to save the changes.
ˆ Click Reload to clear the changes and start over.
4. To permanently save these settings in the configuration file, from the
main menu, select Save Configuration.
