3.14.4.2Get Password

The get password variable (sfadminGetPass) must be set to the value of

the community name used by the SNMP manager for performing get

operations. A zero length password means that any community name is

acceptable.

3.14.5 Aging Parameter

Dynamic (learned) addresses are automatically deleted from the FN100

Bridge Address Table after a certain length of time. The aging time

default is ﬁve minutes, as set by the IEEE 802.1d standard. You can

change the aging time using the MIB variable

dot1dTpAgingTime.

The FN100 continually compares the actual age of each dynamic address

against the age speciﬁed by the dot1dTpAgingTime parameter, and deletes

any addresses that are older than the age speciﬁed (or older than ﬁve

minutes if you are using the default). Typically, there is no need to set the

aging time to a very small number because the FN100 Bridge Address

Table supports over 8000 addresses.
