To disable the aging time for MAC addresses, enter an aging time value of 0.
To specify an aging time or disable the aging time for MAC addresses, perform the following steps
from Privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter the appropriate command based on whether you want to specify an aging time or disable
the aging time for MAC addresses:
switch(config)#mac-address-table aging-time 600
