MAC Aging
The FS24 forwarding database holds the MAC addresses learnt by the switch. The addresses stored
in this database are dynamically learnt and are deleted after the age out period. The valid range for
MAC address aging time is from 300 to 765 seconds. The default value is 300 seconds.To configure
the MAC address table aging time use the following command.
LS2W> config mac addresstable agingtime <time>
LS2W> config mac addresstable agingtime 400
To display the MAC address table ageing time use the following commands:
LS2W> show mac addresstable agingtime

Static MAC Address
When you add a static MAC address, it remains in the switch's address table, regardless of whether
the device is physically connected to the switch or not. This saves the switch from having to re-learn
a device's MAC address when the device is disconnected or powered-off and reconnected or
powered-on again.
•
macaddr - Destination MAC address to add to the address table. Packets with this
destination Address received in the specified VLAN is forwarded to the specified port.
•
slot.port - interface to which the received packet is forwarded. Valid interfaces include
physical ports and trunk ports.
Using the following command syntax, user can add / modify / delete a static MAC address.
L2SW> config mac addresstable static add <macaddr> <slot.port>
L2SW> config mac addresstable static add 00:00:00:10:00:10 10 0.1
To delete the static MAC address entry from the address table, use following command:
L2SW> config mac addresstable static delete <macaddr> <slot.port>
L2SW> config mac addresstable static delete 00:00:00:10:00:10 10 0.1
To display the static MAC address table use the following command syntax:
L2SW> show mac addresstable static
