7.8 Aging Control
Aging control is for the aging of address entries in the switch’s forwarding table. If
the aging control is enabled, a learned address entry (not include the static entry) will
be removed from the forwarding table if there is no update within a pre-determined
period (1 ~ 128 seconds). It is useful because the resource of the forwarding table is
limited. Enabling the aging control will not influence packets forwarding, for that the
packet is forwarded to all other ports when the destination MAC address cannot be
found in the forwarding table. If the aging control is disabled, all address entries will
not be removed.
1. Go to Aging Control from the Command window.
2. Select “Enable” from the Aging Control option.
3. Enter the Maximum Age of the Address Entries. If the aging control is
enabled, enter an integer from the range of 1 to 128 as the maximum age of
address entries. If the aging control is disabled, this step can be skipped.
