The slot containing the module including the port.
Port
Synopsis: integer
The port on which the MAC address has been learned.
Type
Synopsis: string - one of the following keywords { dynamic, static }
How the MAC address has been learned by the switch:
• STATIC : the address has been learned as a result of Static MAC Address Table configuration
or some other management activity and cannot be automatically unlearned or relearned by the
switch.
• DYNAMIC : the address has been automatically learned by the switch and can be automatically
unlearned.
CoS
Synopsis: string - one of the following keywords { crit, high, medium, normal }

2. Configuring MAC Address Learning Options
Figure 24.4. MAC Tables form
The MAC Tables form is accessible under switch/mac-tables.
MAC Aging Time (sec)
Synopsis: integer
Default: 300
The time a learned MAC address is held before being aged out.
MAC Age on Loss
Synopsis: boolean
Default: true
When link failure (and potentially a topology change) occurs, the switch may have some MAC
addresses previously learned on the failed port. As long as those addresses are not aged-out,
the switch will still be forwarding traffic to that port, thus preventing that traffic from reaching its
destination via the new network topology. This parameter allows the aging-out of all MAC addresses
learned on a failed port immediately upon link failure detection.
