PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
System Configuration
Aging Enabled: If checked, secured MAC addresses are subject to aging as discussed under Aging Period .
Aging Period: If Aging Enabled is checked, then the aging period is controlled with this input. If other modules are using the
underlying functionality for securing MAC addresses, they may have other requirements for the aging period. The underlying
functionality will use the shorter requested aging period of all modules that have aging enabled.
The Aging Period can be set to a number between 10 and 10000000 seconds with a default of 3600 seconds.
