3.6.6 Aging Time

When the Switch learns a new MAC address, it will be added to the dynamic MAC address table and a relative timer will be
generated immediately. If no packet taking the MAC address as its source passes through the Switch in a specified time
length, that MAC address will be purged from the MAC address table. This process is called "aging", and the specified time
length referred above is called "aging time". The aging time ranges from 0 to 3825 seconds; the default value is 300
seconds. Dynamic address table entry won’t age if 0 is set. The aging time precision is 15 seconds. The screen in Figure
3-21
appears.
