SET SWITCH AGINGTIMER|AGEINGTIMER
Syntax
set switch agingtimer|ageingtimer= value
Parameter
agingtimer or Specifies the aging timer for the MAC address table.
ageingtimer The value is in seconds. The range is 0 to 1048575.
The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). The
parameters are equivalent.
Description
This command is used to set the aging timer, which the switch uses to
delete inactive dynamic MAC addresses from the MAC address table. This
prevents the table from becoming full of addresses of inactive nodes.
Addresses are considered inactive if no packets are sent to or received
from the nodes of the addresses for the duration of the timer.
Setting the aging timer to 0 disables the timer. No dynamic MAC
addresses are aged out and the table stops learning new addresses after
reaching its maximum capacity.
To view the current setting for the MAC address aging timer, refer to
“SHOW SWITCH AGINGTIMER|AGEINGTIMER” on page 200.
Example
The following command sets the aging timer to 120 seconds (2 minutes):
set switch agingtimer=120
