Configuring Your ELS10-26
Set Community Name
The set community name variable (
lxadminAnyPass
) and get
community name variable (
lxadminGetPass
) must be set to the value
of the community name used by the SNMP manager for
performing either set or get operations. A zero length community
name means that any community name is acceptable.
lxadminAnyPass - {lxadmin 2}
DisplayString (SIZE (0..24))
lxadminGetPass - {lxadmin 2}
DisplayString (SIZE (0..24))
3.16.3 Aging Parameter
Dynamic (learned) addresses are automatically deleted from the
ELS10-26 Bridge Address Table after a certain length of time. The
aging time default is five minutes, as set by the IEEE 802.1d
standard. However, you can change the aging parameter with the
MIB variable
dot1dTpAgingTime
.
The ELS10-26 continually compares the actual age of each dynamic
address against the age specified by the
dot1dTpAgingTime
parameter, and deletes any addresses that are older than the age
specified (or older than five minutes if you are using the default).
Typically, there is no need to set the aging time to a very small
number because the ELS10-26 Bridge Address Table supports 979
addresses.
