Managing the Address Forwarding Table
Controlling Re-
configuration of
AFT Sizes Using
the Web Agent
To manually control reconfiguration of AFT sizes using the Web
Agent:
1. Select Configuration from the L2 Switching > Address
Forwarding Table group in the Web Agent window. The
Address Forwarding Table Configuration dialog box
opens (Figure 6-12).
2. Enter a new Auto-Sizing Utilization Threshold
percentage in the Threshold (Util%) field, if you just want to
cause the table reconfiguration to occur at a different level of
usage efficiency. The default value of 40% is recommended
for most applications.
* Note: Raising the value in the Threshold (Util%) field
might cause the table to be relearned more
frequently, and makes address space usage more
efficient.
Controlling
Reconfiguration
of AFT Sizes

enter the following command in Enable/Configure mode:
# set aft auto-sizing-threshold

Searching the Switch AFT
The AFT can hold 24,000 entries on each switch. The switch Web
Agent provides a utility that allows you to filter which addresses it
displays, making the list more manageable. Multiple criteria can be
selected to produce a sophisticated filter. The parameters are treated
as “ands,” meaning that displayed addresses must meet all selected
criteria.
You can search the AFT using the Web Agent or the CLI.
