Definition

The address is saved in nonvolatile memory and
is not aged out of the table.

Ageout

Address is cleared from the address forwarding

the state of all entries dynamically learned by the
switch. It ensures that MAC addresses that are
not active on the network do not remain in the
switch address forwarding table indefinitely.
