SET SWITCH AGINGTIMER|AGEINGTIMER
Syntax
set switch agingtimer|ageingtimer=value
Parameter
agingtimer Specifies the aging timer for the MAC address table.
ageingtimer The value is in seconds. The range is 1 to 512. The
default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). The parameters
are equivalent.
Description
The switch uses the aging timer 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nodes that are no longer active.
To view the current setting for the MAC address aging timer, use the
SHOW SWITCH command.
Example
The following command sets the aging timer to 120 seconds (2 minutes):
set switch agingtimer=120
