Description The

command sets the aging time of the
forwarding database. The aging time affects the learning process of

n a high percentage of received packets whose source

the Switch. Dynamic forwarding table entries, which are made up of
the source MAC addresses and their associated port numbers, are
deleted from the table if they are not accessed within the aging time.
The aging time can be from 0 to 630 minutes with a default value of
5 minutes. A very long aging time can result in dynamic forwarding
table entries that are out-of-date or no longer exist. This may cau
incorrect packet forwarding decisions by the Switch. If the agin
is too short however, many entries may be aged out too soon. This

addresses cannot be found in the forwarding table, in which case the
Switch will broadcast the packet to all ports, negating many of the
benefits of having a Switch
