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nodes that are no longer active.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 Home page, select Configuration.
The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 194 on page 586.
2. In the Configuration section, enter a new value in seconds for the
MAC Address Aging Time item. The range is 8 to 512 seconds. The
default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
3. Click Apply.
4. To permanently save the change, click Save Changes.
