Setting the Aging Time for Dynamic Entries
Learned MAC addresses are entered in the table as dynamic entries, which means that they are subject to aging.
For any dynamic entry, if no packet arrives on the switch with the MAC address as the source or destination address within the
timer period, the address is removed from the table. The default aging time is
1800 seconds
.
To disable a MAC address and specify an aging time, use the following commands.
•
Disable MAC address aging for all dynamic entries.
CONFIGURATION mode
mac-address-table aging-time 0
•
Specify an aging time.
CONFIGURATION mode
mac-address-table aging-time
seconds
The range is from 10 to 1000000.
